I ordered a few more discs of different brands and types to try. Some have fewer strips spaced farther apart. Some have MORE strips spaced closer together and are thicker. The CGW "XL" is supposed to be Xtended Life(?) but I have a sneaking suspicion it will stop cutting even sooner than the "regular" disc I'm having the problem with. 
This is the regular CGW disc that quit cutting on me. It only rubs on the bare ends of the cloth backing now. Lots of abrasive still trapped between the layers but if you can't get it to contact the material you are trying to grind/sand on.....
