Rupes Pneumatic Mini Sander LD30
RUPES LD30 Pneumatic Mini Sander with 30mm Pad
Quickly correct small paint defects accurately and with control using the RUPES LD30 Pneumatic Mini Sander. Designed for localized automotive paint correction, this compact orbital sander helps remove dust nibs, paint runs, drips, and other isolated imperfections without unnecessarily sanding the surrounding finish.
The LD30 combines a 30mm backing pad with a precise 1.5mm orbital movement, making it ideal for spot sanding in tight or delicate areas. Its lightweight 0.65 kg design is easy to maneuver, while the built-in speed regulator gives technicians greater control over the sanding process.
A durable die-cast motor supports professional use, and the rear exhaust system directs air away from the work surface. The double silencer and exhaust muffler help reduce operating noise and improve comfort in busy detailing and body shop environments.
Why Choose the RUPES LD30?
