Bought it 1993 and sanding wide glue up panel made from several narrow
boards. Didn't know that sandpaper has a relatively short life and
was trying to get more use from discs that were gone. Our DIL is
learning woodworking and uses discs that our son has put back in the
pile and she presses down making the same mistake I made. Oh well,
....

I replaced the pad of the PC333 ROS shortly after buying it because I
applied pressure while sanding, mistake. Heat melts the loops on a
Velcro pad.

Good Lord. I've been using mine for a couple years and applying what I
thought was pretty hard pressure now and then, and haven't had any trouble
with the pad.

Just how hard were you pushing that thing, and what were you doing?
