Rupes 15 dial knob question

[Tpr1634]

For you guys who have the 15, there is no speed difference from 5 to 6. The dial knob does feel vague how are your polishers is there no difference, this was my test run with my 15 or is there an issue ?

I`ll check tomorrow to be 100%, but I think you should be able to hear a change going from 5 to 6. It might seem like a very small change, but it`s more noticeable when a pad is on the paint.

Luckily you bought your Rupes LHR 15ES from Autopia, so if there is a defect with your tool we`ll take care of it 100%. I`ll pm you tomorrow.

On my Rupes 15, I also do not see any real difference above setting 5. This was after the washer mod which I removed and will try to see if that changes anything. I was told it was normal.

Don`t know what the washer mod would have to do with speed change, my only complaint is the dial know being so vague why have a number 6 if it does nothing.

It`s clearly a fault in the switch.

Because on a Rupes there`s electronic motor control. It`s a question of load vs no load. It`s entirely possible that it has a max motor RPM that`s hit on speed 5 so speed 6 doesn`t seem like it changes versus speed 5/6 with a torque load.

Very possible just want to make sure it ok, just seems odd.

I guess Todd could tell us the Rupes` comment on this.

That would be cool, right from the horses mouth.....
