Eager to pull the trigger on the Rupes!!

[Dcox9]

The craze about the rupes polisher is leading me to believe its gonna be worth the expense but... I am wondering if there`s anyone on here around the Philly area (NY, NJ, MD, VA, or PA) that would allow me to try it out and maybe show me a few things before I spring for it.
My expirence with buffers started with the Dewalt rotary and then grew from there, i now own a Dewalt, Makita and 2 GG D/A (6",3") So I feel right at home with a buffer in my hand but for some reason feel a little intimidated when ordering the rupes

Hopefully somebody can help you out! The RUPES will likely be the easiest of the polishers that you own to use. It is so well balanced! Let me know if you have any questions on its performance.

RUPES is the Cadillac of polishers. I`m thoroughly enjoying my R21 and intend on purchasing more of their machines. Have you seen their air sanders?

I was intimidated at first well and wondered if I needed another polisher in my arsenal. I am glad now that I did. You won`t be sorry.

Is the Rupes buffer forced rotation like the Flex? TIA

No, the Rupes is a Random Orbital buffer or Dual Action if you like just the same as a Griots, PC or Megs, but the Rupes has a 15mm orbit or 21 mm orbit depending on which model you choose while I believ the others have a 8mm orbit.
