Separate the polisher range by motion and pad size before comparing speed. A rotary polisher and a dual-action polisher give buyers different process choices. Within a dual-action offer, distinguish the backing-pad diameter and orbit so the buyer can stock the right pads and select a representative panel for approval.
| Model | Motion and listed geometry | Catalogue no-load speed |
|---|---|---|
| DUP-RP-001 | Rotary; 180 mm pad | 0–3,000 rpm |
| DUP-RP-005 | Dual action; 75 mm pad and 8 mm orbit | 1,800–5,500 rpm |
| DUP-RP-006 | Dual action; 150 mm pad and 9 mm orbit | 1,800–5,500 rpm |
Specify each model’s role and consumables
Use a small-area task when evaluating the 75 mm position and a representative broad panel for the 150 mm and 180 mm positions. Check the coating, process, compound and pad material with the buyer. Record the speed label as the catalogue presents it and retain the motion type and orbit entries alongside it. A speed number cannot by itself rank different mechanisms.
The RUPES BigFoot catalogue distinguishes rotary and dual-action pad ranges. Apply the same model-specific discipline to the backing plate and pad stock for these orders.
Freeze the sample configuration
Put the supplied backing pad, sponge, wool accessory, handle and service tools on explicit order lines as applicable. Confirm attachment and dimensions before approving any alternate pad. Save a result for the sample panel with the exact pad and compound used.
Buyer FAQs
Do identical speed listings make the two dual-action models equivalent?
Compare their pad diameters, orbits and intended sample tasks separately.
Does pad diameter establish replacement compatibility?
Check the backing plate, pad attachment and supported size for the actual model.
