Experience excellence, the RUPES SKORPIO III is what every random orbital sander operator needs, an extremely quiet tool that has tremendous power and low vibration. The newly designed pneumatic SKORPIO III is the quietest random orbital sander in its class. Further, it comes in a choice of orbit sizes to fit your particular application.
The RUPES SKORPIO III #RH356A is a 6" air sander that features a 6mm (15/64") random orbit perfectly suited for most sanding tasks, grip multi-hole backup pad for use with 6" grip (Velcro) sanding discs and vacuum port for use with external dust extraction systems. Compared to the 5mm (3/16") orbit of a conventional 6" sander, the 6mm orbit of the RH356A provides 20% greater efficiency yet does not diminish finish quality.
The internal components of the SKORPIO III are so well balanced that operators can actually change the size of the backing pad without compromising the low vibration level of the tool. It is now possible to choose the backing pad diameter that you need 5" (125mm) or 6" (150mm), without changing tools!
Made in Italy, the latest generation SKORPIO III palm sanders are quiet, powerful, efficient, smooth and affordable tools that set the standard for all to follow.
New Heavy Duty Motor
The new high performance motor built in sintered steel is designed to provide the best power to weight ratio with a lower air consumption. Designed to minimize tool noise and lower vibration level, the new motor reduces internal friction for a higher power transfer ratio, simplified maintenance and longer tool life.
Double Row Ball Bearings
A new double-row ball bearing system, designed specifically by the RUPES Research and Development team, results in longer bearing life, greater motor stability and lower vibration levels.
Anti Spinning System
The presence of the rubber shroud prevents the tool from operating in free rotation mode. This eliminates the risk of damage to the work surface from a true rotary motion. Further, the shroud allows for more efficient dust extraction by sealing the area between the tool housing and the backup pad.
Extremely Well Balanced
RUPES Research and Development team dedicated significant time and effort to create a tool whose internal components are perfectly balanced. The result is a tool that is very low in vibration and ideal for high time-exposure operations.
Ergonomic Design
The body is coated with an anti-slip rubber for better handling, the throttle lever is designed to support the operator’s wrist during operation for perfect fit into the tool body to eliminate pinch points, the internal balancing of the components double row bearings results in extremely low vibration and smoother operation.
Interchangeable Backing Pad
The internal components of the SKORPIO III are so well balanced that operators can actually change the size of the backing pad without compromising the low vibration level of the tool. It is now possible to choose the backing pad diameter that you need, 5" (125mm) or 6" (150mm), without changing tools!
