15 vs 21 and the Impact of Orbit Size - [RUPES CORE Series Webinar]

Large stroke random orbital polishers have, in a short time, revolutionized the way technicians correct and finish surfaces. The BigFoot large orbit polishing technology pioneered by RUPES has forever changed the expectations for performance and capability in the polisher category, but many users don’t understand how orbit can impact cutting or finishing in both sanding and polishing operations.
In this C.O.R.E. Series Webinar the RUPES Global training team, led by Jason Rose and Fabrizio Gagliardi, covers the various aspects of orbit, specific advantages, and disadvantages, plus when to choose one orbit size over another. This webinar is a great learning opportunity for professionals in both the detailing and body shop industries, as well as hobbyists looking to gain a better understanding of random orbital movements or anyone seeking guidance on which tool is the right purchase for them.
TRAINERS:
Jason Rose - Global Director of Training, RUPES
Fabrizio Gagliardi - Training Manager, RUPES

Thank you so much for the wonderful information!! Love Rupes products.

[@vtecaccord96]

Thank you guys for such excellent content and information!

[@RUPES]

Thanks for watching!

[@tommyholt3465]

This is extremely helpful information. I’m surprised there aren’t more comments here. I’d made many incorrect assumptions about these machines that have been corrected by watching this.

[@RUPES]

Great. Glad you found it helpful. 👍🏼

[@gregsullivan7408]

Nitpick: 21mm is actually 40% larger than 15mm. (but yes, 15 is 33% *less* than 21)

[@Potzii85]

Thanks for providing that information. I have a LHR21 Mark II and love it. But I thought about buying the LHR15 as well. But this would mean I would also have to buy all the pads in multiple versions again. In my opinion, the 21 is the best joice when you have large panels without much contures to work around on an angle. For the smaller stuff I use the 75mm Size. I sometimes whish there was something in between, like a 100mm tool to cover that gap in between.

[@RUPES]

Thanks for watching and commenting! If you went to the LHR15 then yes, you would be looking at a new set of pads to support that tool as it runs a 150mm pad set (125mm backing pad) vs. the 180mm pad set (150mm backing pad) of the LHR21.
You are very correct about how the 21 excels in large open spaces, but can struggle with the curves and contours. The combo you have (LHR21 + LHR75) is very common and the tools compliment eachother well, with the 21 taking on the bulk of the open spaces, and the 75 cutting in the edges and curves. Also, as a point of clarity - the LHR75 uses a 100mm pad system, the backing pad is the 75mm part.

Hey guys I would love to see a webinar of the 21 vs the cyclo. I understand that the stroke length makes a huge difference but the cyclo is basically two lhr75 in one unit. To me one step quick polishes etc are better on a cyclo then a 21 because I don’t need to switch to an lhr75 to get the smaller areas.

[@RUPES]

We'll add it to the list of ideas. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@bekiro28]

36:45 is that levi from rag company

[@nuckles2727]

Love your videos but can you start doing more videos on The rupes Mille

[@RUPES]

Thanks for watching. Anything in particular or just the Mille in general?

[@gregsullivan7408]

And I'd like some videos on the rotary specific pads. Call me old fashioned. 🤣

[@Amolavelocicoaster_363-23.]

hola amo rupes y esta por llegar a la argentina, las voy a vender ! realmente cual corta mas las superficies , quiero decir cual corta mejor los defectos de las lacas , la 21 o la 15 ? gracias

[@RUPES]

Gracias por enviar tu pregunta. La tasa de corte del 15 al 21 es casi la misma.
El 21 logra cortar con una gran órbita a menor velocidad.
El 15 logra cortar con una órbita ligeramente más pequeña, pero opera a una velocidad más alta.
La elección entre los dos es una cuestión de preferencia personal y del tipo de vehículos en los que se trabaja con mayor frecuencia.

[@matthewgibb2640]

it's a pity that the start speed wasnt 2000 on the MK III. 3000-4500 is a very short range but im sure it performs greatly in that range hence why you designed it that way.

[@RUPES]

Of course it is intentional. Below that speed the tool does not maintain balance as well and the applications in which it would make sense are very few.

[@matthewgibb2640]

@@RUPES theres a few uses but not heaps that is true.

[@bekiro28]

lol what do you mean when you say "do election" ?

[@joemonti1328]

12 is 150% more then 8 🤣😂🤣😂
In my school they would say it’s 50% 😉
150% would be 20 🤭
Anyway. Great machines 🍻

[@RUPES]

Semantics.
"150% more" or "150% of" both mean very different things. Thanks for your comment.
