This could also be an analog oscillation problem.
That theory would be supported if you get predictable spindle speed using a battery (e.g. 9V gives you 90% speed, 1.5V gives you 15% speed).
If that appears to be the case, you could try one of the "snubber" solutions.

Re: VFD control voltage
Just wanted to close the loop on this. Per @tblough suggestion I ordered the signal isolator and installed it between the Acorn and VFD. I changed no settings from what we discussed, just installed it. Works like a champ. I can now scale from 0 to 10VDC and the VFD will operate from 500rpm to 24,000rpm.
Thank you all for your input.
P.S that is about the brightest LED i've ever seen for a power indicator.
