Strip: ROS throwing disc'c

Gentlemen,
Conversation seems a little slow here at the moment so I will ask question #2. I have a 6" and 5" Bosh ROS. 6" works great, 5" works great with 120 grit disc's. If I put on an 80 grit it will throw the disc if I go over #2 on the speed dial. I am using hook-n-loop alum. oxide disc's from Klingspor. I have compared the 6" and 5" pads, they look and feel exactly the same. I did clean the 5" with a toothbrush (in my sweetie's dish water) just in case I was missing something. I am not sure at this point if the problem is the pad or the disc's I am using. The disc's are clean as I keep them in a plastic bag in the shop.
Anyone ever have this problem? Is it time for a new pad? This one is only a couple years old.
Last week I couldn't breath the epoxy dust I was making, this week I can't make epoxy dust - - problem solved :))
Thank you,
Randy
