I have a Rockwell ROS that I have used very little because it makes terrible
swirl marks on the work when starting. I have tried pulling the trigger
with the disk in contact with the work and also slowly placing the running
sander on the work. In both cases the initial swirls are a problem. Is
there something I am missing?
Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong here but did the sander ever work like a ROS? I was not
aware that ROS's existed when Rockwell was still selling tools.

You are right, it is a Porter Cable. Yes it works like a ROS but makes 5
inch swirls where it starts.

Swirl marks from a ROS usually indicate your moving the sander too fast,
that is not allowing enough time for the random orbit to randomize the
scratches.
