The Katool RPM-80 is a professional-grade rim polishing machine built for cleaning, grinding, derusting, and restoring wheels to a like-new finish in a single 6-minute cycle. It handles rims up to 24 inches in diameter and runs on a dual-motor system ā a 1.5 kW spindle motor driving rotation and a 1.1 kW bucket motor managing media feed ā delivering 8 MPa of working pressure for consistent cutting and polishing force across the full wheel surface. At a 380 kg (838 lb) media bucket capacity, it's built for continuous production runs, not occasional single-wheel touch-ups.
What separates the RPM-80 from simpler polishing setups is its automatic bidirectional rotation ā the spindle alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise passes, which ensures even coverage across the wheel face and eliminates the directional swirl marks that single-direction machines leave behind. Combined with the high working pressure, this means a shop can take a corroded, curb-damaged, or heavily oxidized wheel and bring it back to finish-ready condition in one cycle without hand-finishing to clean up uneven polish.
The RPM-80 is built for automotive shops, wheel repair specialists, and detailing businesses that process enough wheels to justify a dedicated machine. A 6-minute cycle time means a technician can run 10 wheels per hour, making it a practical fit for any operation where wheel refurbishment is a recurring service line rather than an occasional job.
