My thoughts also.

Forty Rogers on that. And I may have found the trigger of the xylotex's
demise. I am using those 4 pin screw ring retainer connectors like CB
radios used as a means of making the transition from the motors 4 wires to
the 4 wire & shield 'star-quad' microphone cable. The x cable has been
hanging off the right end of the table such that the connectors semi-open
back end, was always facing up, so flying swarf could have entered it. I
haven't dissed the connector shell yet, but when I disconnected it and held
it pin face up & rapped it with a tool, all sorts of dirt fell out of the
back of the connector. I'll clean them all out, reassemble and caulk the
back of the connector shell this time.
Cheers, gene
