Router moves left unexpectly during program running

Howdy, I'm carving a rosette. The first one was a beautiful. Then the second, about 1 1/2 hours into the carving the top 1" of the elongated carving moved about an 1" to left. I thought with all the side to side motion it was making more noise than usual. I could not locally find the recommended lubricate, so I picked up some graphite spray.
Whoops - what a mess. I cleaned up with acetone removing as much as I could from all surfaces, thus removing all lubricate. I restarted the program and 1 1/2 hour later (roughly) the same problem occurred. If it was just binding why wait so long to cause a problem? I also compared the file on the usb stick with the other computer and they are both the same. I will wait until I get the correct lub. Any other lub, besides the DuPont Teflon Silicone? What would cause the machine to fail at the same place ?
