One thing you can try is you can do a home in places on the Z axis by turning the pin off for it homing will still work for the X and Y axis, you will have to set the Z to a safe spot then hit home Z. Then when you run the code if you have G28 turned on the the Z should lift up to where you set it and do the normal start stuff, then move to the first cut position and start cutting.
Now if before the first tool change if it goes to home that's good then goes to the next start position, if it does not go to the start position you may have a offset stuck in mach if this is so it will goto where it finished cutting before the tool change then go to the start position of the next cut.
If it does this what you need to do before you do anything on it, straight after you start Mach3 goto the MDI screen and put G40 and G49 into the mdi and hit enter then go home the machine and set your work zero, if it happens again after doing this, it's something else.
This sounds totally stupid But I have seen it happen on the same machine a few times after Fusion has been used on it I almost got punched in the head last time it happened a $100 endmill got broken.
I can not find what is make it happen.
