Be very careful if you try to run the motor at that low speed it will destroy the vfd and or spindle. Sounds like the vfd is programmed incorrectly. That is a good spindle.
Let me know if I'm posting in the wrong spot.
I recently got a mill with an HSD ES919 spindle motor that is being controlled by a Magnetek GPD 515. No matter what speed we tell it to run, it remains at a low frequency (2.22 Hz) until it hits an inverter overloaded fault. I was wondering if any knew how to figure out what the problem is or what settings to change.

Download the manual for the VFd and look at the tag on the spindle to get the voltage, amperage and permissible frequency. Then check each parameter to make sure they are set correctly
It may be just Programing, but also could be a drive failure, being as old as it is.
You need to know the spindle motor spec's and then that should be what is entered into the VFD drive
Running at that frequency can cause some serious damage to the drive and motor.
How are you powering the machine ??
Here is the manual
