Trying to cut 1/2" MDF

Newbie here! I am having a hard time trying to cut through 1/2" MDF. I have watched several videos and read countless blogs. I have a 105 W laser and cannot get it to cut through. I am using a 2.5" focus lens and have changed the material height in Lightburn to 12.7mm but everytime I try to run the project my Z-axis moves up when I hit start and I get a hard limit. Everything I read tells me to turn off the Z-axis but when I try that it only cuts about 1/16 deep. I have my settings at 15 mm/s and 95% power and that’s all I get. I need some help please!!!
