I suspect that your problems are caused by the 50" per revolution roughing feedrate. You will also run into problems with the 10" per rev finish feedrate. You didn't attach a report but I suspect movement initally stopped because your drive faulted. When reset the control, you didn't re-home the machine which exacerbated the crash.
On an open-loop machine, whenever you have a drive fault or any condition that causes lost steps, you HAVE to re-home the machine. If you do not have index/hard-stop/accurate switch homing, you will also need to re-calibrate your tools.
