Apparently everyone one else is just experiencing worn out sanders or sandpaper disc’s.
I just took my brand new Hyper Tough 2.4 Random Orbit Sander out of the box this morning. I also purchased 2 boxes of discs.
I used it on and off for about 45 minutes before it started throwing the disc off. The disc I was using wasn’t even used up yet. But I still put another new one on. They only hold about 15 minutes worth of sanding before falling off.
Obviously these things are defective in their design. I’m very disappointed.
After experimenting it is not the attached sander pad that is the issue but the sanding discs that won’t stick on firmly.
Now I’ll have to remake my discs by glueing on my own loop and disc tape.
The sander I have is the Hyper Tough 2.4 Random Orbit Sander ( it came with 2 discs that have the same problem)
The two extra boxes of 5” Hook and Loop Sanding Discs are made by Gator Power.
