    I load a program to the new interface I received a few days ago (to replace a bad one), zero out the machine, enter a program I ran last night and this morning with no issues. the z axis drives the bit straight through the part and waste board.
    What happened? I've reset everything.

    Usually wiring. Check for loose terminals, broken wires. Switch can also break if machine jams hard into it while its wiring is incorrect
