    So it wasn't the tool being reluctant to cut that caused the Y axis to stick.

    That leaves it wide open. Possibilities:- a mechanical glitch, the motor hasn't got quite enough welly at speed, a loose connection.

    I'd start by running the Y axis for a few fast passes while listening and watching it like a hawk. See if you can localise anything.
