    Re: Cutting power of the rupes?

    Using the same pad and polish on the same paint, the LHR21 will out cut the Flex 3401, IMO.

    There is something for the 3401 with the backing plate system that can offer more options so you do not need to replace the 3401 with 3 optimized machines. I have the Rupes 15 too but always liked the fixed rotation for consistency. The Rupes is deceptively powerful especially with practice. To me, fixed rotation removes one variable but someone do not like it. I get a lot of heat transfer in the pads but I am using B&S and LC not Rupes.
