You're correct. Pads wear out much faster on an orbital machine. Those 1725 oscillations per minute can mutilate your pads and bonnets. Bonnets of all types will start to fray under the aggressive scrubbing of an orbital, and pads will tyically deconstruct even faster. By comparison a Cimex or a rotary machine won't wear through pads or bonnets as quickly.
