I have used the hal lowpass component for this, but apparently the limit component can also be used to limit the rate of change of the output.
See : http://pico-systems.com/codes/jebport/ppmc_motion.hal for how I have spindle speed filtered on my Bridgeport. As for the Z movement giving a fault, I can imagine a couple possible things. One is if all the power supplies are common, the rapid Z move might cause the DC bus voltage to dip. Another possible thing is the spindle spline is binding and causing the bearings to drag.
