The RUPES RH359A Skorpio III is a professional random orbital palm pneumatic sander equipped with a 150 mm backing pad, a 9 mm sanding orbit and a central vacuum connection. It is designed for fast material removal while maintaining smooth, controlled operation in demanding bodyshop and surface preparation environments.
RUPES states that the 9 mm Skorpio III platform can reduce the time typically needed to sand a surface by up to 50 percent, making it the fastest cutting dual action palm sander in the Skorpio III range. Its engineered motor is designed to maximize torque even when airflow is reduced or inconsistent.
The RH359A version uses a central vacuum system, helping connect the tool to an external dust extraction setup for cleaner sanding operations. The lightweight ergonomic body, precision bearings and RUPES designed backing plate are intended to provide smooth operation, low noise and long service life in high stress professional applications.
With a working speed of up to 11,000 RPM and a 9 mm orbit, the sander is suitable for finishing applications using P320 and finer abrasives. RUPES notes that this combination can produce a high quality surface finish ready for paint and other coatings.
