My $80 Ryobi orbital sander basically exploded on me

Was trying to refinish an old oak table I got from a yard sale in Springfield. The sander started shaking like crazy halfway through, then the pad flew off and hit the wall. I think the bearing inside gave out. Anyone know if this is a common thing with these or did I just get a bad one?

Yeah, that's pretty much the Ryobi experience right there.

Read a review saying they're fine for light use but break under real work.
