Default Drum Sander Chatter

I just bought a Performax 16-32 drum sander. I tried sanding a piece about
20 inches wide, so I had to overlap. It seemed to be working OK, but when I
got down to the last grit (80,120,150) I noticed some 'chatter' and some
overlap which hadn't appeared on the coarser grits. Any ideas where the
novice went wrong?

Just a guess, You may be sanding too fast ot trying to sand too deeply for
the fine grit paper.
