So maybe the title is misleading, but my pads are warming up to the touch when polishing or compounding on my 21mm orbital. I polish on my machines number 4 setting (3800/3900 OPM), only apply enough pressure to keep the DA on the car, and use three pea size dots of polish or compound (AIO is a swirl as recommend by Mike), and brush my pads off after each section pass and swap to fresh every panel. I use Lake Country 5.5in flat pads, CCS pads, and thin pro (these ones don't heat up much for me).

For those using the 21mm throw orbitals, how are you cooling your pads down or keeping them from getting warm in the first place.
