All-in-one sanding and polishing system for painted surfaces

The RUPES Duetto is equally effective working with soft, or interface backing pads, teamed with micro-abrasives during the defect correction step, or with foam polishing pads and compounds during the polishing stage. Extensive research on random orbital dynamics and exhaustive testing resulted in the choice of a 12mm orbit for the Duetto. This orbit length greatly improves the surface rectification abilities of the latest generation of microabrasive discs. The combination of the Duetto and microabrasives is especially effective when smoothing orange peel or significant defects. The finish generated by this combination is both homogeneous and predictable, with no deep sanding marks.

The use of microabrasive discs to correct severe defects creates a surface that is easily polished, radically reducing the overall time of the full correction process. The Duetto is so well balanced and low in vibration that the operator can easily control the sanding step by simply guiding the Duetto over the surface. The ability of the operator to control the tool so efficiently minimizes the chances of creating rough and uneven surfaces that require time-consuming rework.

The Duetto has several design features that make it uniquely operator friendly. The anti-spinning device reduces the chances of operator error even for a novice technician. The front hand grip allows the operator to place his/her hand at the virtual balance center of the tool and keeps vibration to a minimum. The electronic module has built-in torque control, reducing the need for the operator to apply significant downward vertical pressure. Another unique Duetto feature is the rubber support that allows the operator to place the tool on a workbench without the abrasive disc touching a surface that might contain contaminants that could transfer to the workpiece during the sanding process. Compatible with microabrasive discs and the appropriate 5” interface pad.
