So my question is my board is 1/4 when I imported from easel and I tried multiple times my cut went 1/2 but code in Maslow was reading .25 for depth. I checked my 0 when finished and it sent flush to the board. Any thoughts?

That looks beautiful!
Check the gcode! You can open it with a regular text editor. You should see lines that say either G1 Z-0.25 or G01 Z-0.25
Here is a sample part of one cut. My cut on Maslow is also showing going only to .25 as well. but extends to almost .50 when it finnishes .17 is actually at .25

That sounds like it could be an issue with the settings for how many revolutions of the motor corresponds to 1mm of travel on the z-axis. Different kit suppliers use different motors and z-axis setups so the setting can be different from one supplier to the next.
To be clear, if you use the jog button to move the z-axis by .5 inches it actually moves by .25 inches?
That sounds like a setting for the z-axis pitch is off by a factor of two. Try doubling it or halving it.
