I would be inclined to look for electrical noise from your spindle or spindle switching system. Any electrical noise on an axis step pin can cause unwanted movement of that axis.
Can you please give us more details of your spindle and controller type ? (photo's perhaps).

I can only guess but VFD's can be a major source of noise - check with the instructions that it is connected correctly and that it has a good earth connection and also that your incoming mains supply provides a good earth connection.
