PS2 Fat Ps2 Scratching discs?

Typically when discussing Ps2's that scratch discs, the slim is the first thing that comes to mind. I have however recently purchased an SCPH 50001/N model and noticed that mine is scratching discs a bit differently. After having searched many forums, I can not find so much information.
Here's the issue:

I have purchased games recently that were very clean (SCIII and SOE) and decided to pop them into the PS2. What I've noticed is that after 30 mins or so I receive a pattern of hair like circular scratches around the disc. Now keep in mind, these are not circles that ring around the whole disc, rather its a pattern of multiple circles around the disc. What could be causing this? If you need pictures I am able to upload but any help would be appreciated as I can't find anything.
