Review on 🔧 Rupes LHR 15ES 5 Inch Backing Plate: Enhance Your Polishing Process by Francisco Taylor

*** INTRODUCTION *** First a little background: Rupes manufacture high quality polishing machines in Italy now 1947 , but it's only in the last few years that they've started importing them and gaining a foothold here in the US, competing with another well-known polishing company, Flex. I personally have machines from both companies and love them both. "Rupes is made in Italy, Flex is made in Germany. It's all about the feeling, namely what is comfortable and effective for you when polishing and correcting paintwork. In my case, I use Flex and Rupes DA rotary machines (Flex PE 14- 2, Rupes LHR 21ES Double Action and Rupes LHR 75E Mini Double Action Anyway, this is where the smaller baseplate comes in: *** FEEL with a Rupes LHR-21E S except on large items like small planes and Booting I'm going to use the biggest shims I can get my hands on a 5" base plate combined with a "washer mod' you can google if you don't know that's my opinion is the perfect combination for this polisher.*** PERFORMANCE BENEFITS*** Not only do you get speed, ease of use, and more power/performance, but you also get the ability to drop into smaller areas that a 6" pad might be able to is big. A 1 inch difference might not sound like a big deal, but add in the LHR 21ES' 21mm of travel and you have quite a big difference. and a few better ones; This baseplate is one of the best baseplates I have ever used. Build quality is excellent, which is to be expected from a company like Rupes. Make sure that the backing plate is also made in Italy, or if it is made in China or elsewhere, as the country of origin is not indicated on the packaging. Velcro to attach the pad and a firmer foam than other pads but fairly standard on Rupes machines. It uses a standard M8 (5/16 inch) thread, comes with an extra screw and washer and an 8+8+1 hole pattern The following machines:Rupes LHR 15ESRupes LHR 21ESRupes LHR 75E Mini (although I don't recommend it würde, weil es zu groß ist)Die Verpackung behauptet auch, dass es mit den folgenden Maschinen kompatibel ist:Rupes BR65AERupes BR106AERupes BR109AERupes BR112AERupes ER03TERupes BR05TERupes ER153TERupes ER155TERupes EK15AERupes AK15AERupes EK15AERupes RA150ARupes RH153ARupes RH156ARupes RG159ARupes RH112ARupes TA151ARupes TA531ARupes TA551A*** FAZIT *** Insgesamt this is a good solid baseplate.
