LHR 21 Mark III
Random Orbital Polisher
The latest generation of our flagship polishing system. The BigFoot LHR21 Mark III proves once again that RUPES BigFoot is the gold standard by which all professional polishing tools should be judged. The refined chassis and ergonomic enhancements improve upon the original LHR21 design to provide improved performance and operator experience.
Tool
IMPROVED ERGONOMICS
The rubberized front grip of the MarkIII offers exceptional comfort for the operator while providing a non-slip surface for control. The improved rear handle also integrates rubberized surfaces for improved feel. Two strategically placed, non-marking, tool rests provide stability when the tool is not in use as well as additional protection against unintended impact.
TUNED ELECTRONIC SPEED MODULE
The new electronic speed control dial allows for easy adjustment of the top speed of the polisher without requiring the operator to move his hands. The larger dial is easily adjusted with a move of the thumb.
PROGRESSIVE TRIGGER
Adding an additional layer of control is the new progressive trigger. Acting as a throttle to control speeds within the dial range, the progressive trigger allows the operator to make subtle adjustments for precise control without interruption of the process or need to reposition the grip to access the speed dial.
LONGER CORDS
The Mark III comes standard with a 9 meter (29.6 ft) cord on both the LHR15 and LHR21 models. The longer cord provides users enough length to move more effortlessly around their workshop or studio without the need for additional extension cords or searching for a nearby outlet.
Compounds
BIGFOOT D-A COARSE HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLISHING COMPOUND
Simply a new standard. This all-new, high performance, polishing compound has been formulated by RUPES to expand your expectations for what a coarse compound can do. More defect removal? Check. A better finish? Absolutely. Less dusting? Effortless wipe off? Even easier to use? Yes, yes, and yes! BigFoot D-A COARSE offers incredible performance on all orbital polishers; Gear-Driven and Random Orbital.
High-performance polishing compound removes defects and sand scratches up to 1500 grit quickly
Durable lubrication system for an extended polishing cycle and longer working time
The low-dusting formula reduces post-compound cleanup work
One-step moderate-to-severe defect removal and finishing on most paints
Offers one-step cutting-and-polishing ability on most paints
Formulated specifically for use on all random orbital or gear-driven orbital polishers
BIGFOOT D-A FINE HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLISHING COMPOUND
The result of extensive testing to develop a fine polish that combines noticeable cutting performance with impressive finishing capability. The proprietary formula developed and blended in-house by RUPES is designed to perform with both large stroke random orbital polishers and gear-driven orbital polishers. When combined with RUPES specially designed yellow foam, wool, or microfiber pads DA-FINE delivers a much higher level of defect removal when compared to traditional fine polishing compounds. More cut, yet still provides the incredibly high finish quality and easy wipe off expected from a product formulated for final finishing after a coarse cutting compound. BigFoot D-A FINE HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLISHING COMPOUND is body shop safe and performs well on clear coat, single-stage paint, gelcoat, varnish, and more.
Excellent cutting performance relative to most “fine” polishing compounds
New micro-abrasive technology and proprietary blend enhances finishing ability
Easy wipe-off, for fewer towel marks on soft paints or delicate surfaces
Easy application when used with RUPES color-coordinated pad system
One-step light defect removal and finishing on most paints

Features & Benefits - LHR 21 Mark III
IMPROVED ERGONOMICS
The rubberized front grip of the MarkIII offers exceptional comfort for the operator while providing a non-slip surface for control. The improved rear handle also integrates rubberized surfaces for improved feel. Two strategically placed, non-marking, tool rests provide stability when the tool is not in use as well as additional protection against unintended impact. The continued refinement of the BigFoot random orbital platform in MarkIII reinforces its best in class reputation, making the best even better.
TUNED ELECTRONIC SPEED MODULE
The new electronic speed control dial allows for easy adjustment of the top speed of the polisher without requiring the operator to move his hands. The larger dial is easily adjusted with a move of the thumb. High visibility numbers and a more positive feedback from the movement of the dial make speed changes feel more deliberate, allowing operators to select the ideal speed for the task without any interruption to the polishing process. The module has also been tuned to deliver peak torque and speed in the optimal dial ranges.
PROGRESSIVE TRIGGER
Adding an additional layer of control is the new progressive trigger. Acting as a throttle to control speeds within the dial range, the progressive trigger allows the operator to make subtle adjustments for precise control without interruption of the process or need to reposition the grip to access the speed dial. The linear delivery of power allows for very fine adjustment within each speed range giving technicians a whole new dimension of control.
LONGER CORDS
The Mark III comes standard with a 9 meter (29.6 ft) cord on both the LHR15 and LHR21 models. The longer cord provides users enough length to move more effortlessly around their workshop or studio without the need for additional extension cords or searching for a nearby outlet.
