    Rupes 15 vs 21

    I'm currently trying to research the difference between the 15 and 21. I got excited when I saw Mike Phillips did that car using both machines but he didnt really mention much about them like how they handle, what the correction power was like Etc. it was a 4-6 page thread and I'm pretty sure I read through all his post but I'm not sure. If I'm wrong then sorry.

    But I'm wanting to step up from my PCXP into something with more correcting power. I have a makita rotary and can use it just fine but if this machine can correct like a rotary with the safety of a DA then I would like one.

    Thanks

    Go with the 21 and get the 5" backing plate. Then its like having two machines in one. Thats what I have and love it and the 5" backing plate works great.

    Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for advice wise. I want to hear how it corrects vs a traditional DA.
