It's probably best done in the VFD but the HAL deadband component is an 
option.

If spindle motor is an asynchronous motor and simple voltage frequency control. 
Are your sure voltage frequency characteristics are correctly set?

If motor get hot on low RPM even then not loaded you will almost certainly use 
to high voltage.

Hi Tom.
Have you tried to configure the VFD in Sensorless Vector Mode ?
Please can you detail the brand and code manufacturer of your VFD ?

There's not a way to limit what values are accepted by G-code S-word 
commands.

You could make a small HAL circuit that prevents commands from being 
sent to the VFD is the commanded speed is too low.  Something like this 
logic maybe:

vfd.enable = motion.spindle-on  (motion.spindle-speed-out  275)

Which VFD? The ones I use have many settings, and adjusting the speed
range and acceleration up to speed are all part of them.

Look to see if the VFD has a minimum speed command setting.
