My ETS 150/3 is about six or seven years old. It's worked without flaw until a few weeks ago. I've noticed the sanding disks only stay attached when they are new and after about 10 minutes of sanding they won't stay on. It's as though the "middle" of the pad has lost adhesion.
The sanding pads aren't newly purchased and I've been using this batch for a few years. This problem didn't occur until recently. It's happening on all grits too so I don't the problem is with the disks. I haven't changed the settings on the sander since I got it so I can't imagine it's a setting thing. It happens with high and low settings on the CT dust extractor as well so I'm assuming the problem isn't there.
Is there some maintenance I can do to the pad or should I purchase a new pad? Or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Shawn
