Rupes Skorpio E RX253A Electric Sander

The Rupes Skorpio E RX253A is Rupes' first electric random orbital sander to use brushless motor technology. That brushless design delivers steady power and speed, even during extended use and under changing pressure on the surface. With a 3mm orbit and a 150mm backing pad, the RX253A is built for the final finishing stage with abrasives from grit P320 upward, exactly the point where an even, mark free result matters most. The ergonomic design and low vibration level keep your hand and wrist steady, even through a full day at the bench. At 1.2 kg the tool stays light enough for precision work, while the 250W motor and speeds up to 10,000 RPM give plenty of cutting power for efficient sanding. The 5 metre cable gives you room to move around a panel without constantly reaching for an extension. The RX253A suits painters and bodyshops looking for a quiet, precise tool for the last step before spraying.
