Hi Robert and welcome to the forum 
Do you have an Xcarve or another GBL-based CNC?
Whenever a CNC is moving half or double (or fraction there of) vs commanded distance you need to edit GRBL parameter $100(X), $101(Y) or $102(Z) Get your axes to move in the correct direction and amount before addressing work zero, mentioned below.
In Easel, did you jog your bit to where I have the red arrow showing?
This is where Easel assume work zero aka Home Position to be.
