There also 'might' have been an issue with workpiece flex seeing as it was slightly cupped before I screwed it down...
I think I might have to get in the habit of adding a second finish path a few thousandths deeper to my projects to see if the issues persist... I don't mind the machine spending a little more time if it saves me time on the sanding side...
