You may be right - but the motor does get hotter than I can
comfortably touch when running for extended periods at high speed.
And since upgrading the Z axis to use Taig's new box section slide,
the cutting capacity is significantly improved. I would just feel
more comfortable knowing that the motor wasn't going to take any
unilateral decisions just because it finds the climate a bit too
warm ;-)
