Rupes Mark II , Mark ii NICE!
So I got my Mark II the other day and was able to test it on a fender. The Mark II has many small improvements and one big one.
1. The big improvement, definitely has more grunt. Feels different on curve panels because its spinning more. Doesn't have that high pitch whine as the first generation.
2. The trigger lock engages easier.
3. The hand placement cap no longer moves around and is nice and tight
4. The allen wrench holder is also snug with no play.
5. The speed dial also has less play.
6. Power cord is light years better than the fist batch of of Rupes. (Later batches of first generation did get a cord improvement).
7. Backing plate is the grey one and doesn't have the insane grip like the previous blue backing plate. The only downside, is the backing plates from Mark I and Mark II are NOT interchangeable.
Those that own the previous generation knows that those parts listed above were loose, wobbly, or had lots of play. Overall, build quality has been much improved. Everything feels tighter and solid! Sorry I don't have a more comprehensive review, I've only used it on a fender with a nice concave line....it left a smile on my face.
GREAT JOB RUPES!

Define heavy duty?

Why you say the backing plates don't fit from version 1 to version 2. Do you mean thread size, thickness of plates or something totally different. Thanks in advance.
