I'm looking to switch my Kress 1050FME for a 2.2kW water cooled spindle, for use on my evolving CNC router build. I am looking to reduce the screaming noise, allow a better selection of cutters to be used, as well as improving runout. I understand this is the way to go.

I suspect that many of you have such spindles, so I wondered where forum members have successfully sourced them from? A few people I know have bought them from CNC4YOU, which feels like a safe choice. However I suspect these are just imported from China and marked up by a significant amount. Looking on Aliexpress and eBay there is loads of choice, and I'm wary of picking up a dud. It's still a not insignificant investment even from China!

Any guidance or past experiences would therefore be much appreciated!
