Journeyman Elite Z-axis issue

I have a Journeyman Elite and just got it set up. I noticed one thing that is a bit concerning. When I shut the machine down the spindle drops to the table. If you leave a bit in the spindle it will break. Does anyone know what is causing this?

That is the default operation of the stepper motor you have installed. You can add (buy) a braking stepper from Onefinity to replace the original stepper which will stop the motor where it is when losing power.
