You can use intermediate points with G28.
Let’s say my end mill is at X150 Y80 Z3, and my G28 location is X0 Y0 Z50. I can specify an intermediate point when using G28 to make my Z move straight up.
G28 X150 Y80 Z50 will move my end mill to X150 Y80 Z50 before continuing to X0 Y0 Z50
If you don’t specify an X & Y it will only move the Z, and not continue on to X0 Y0.
G28 Z50 will just raise your Z. Follow that with a G28 and you’re right where you want without crashing.
Another way would be to use G53 Z-10 to raise your Z to 10mm (I’m assuming mm) below the Z limit. Then use G28.
Even better, just set your work zero to where your work zero is. Home, set Z, and carve. (I don’t use Easel)
