It happens when we are cutting Delrin (we do a lot of it) and I suspect it is a static electricity thing but we can't solve it. Come to think of it, both of the new machines have done it and I think it's because the servo cables aren't shielded. Anyway, forget the repairs, we are spending thousands a year on scrap parts.
