Shame when that happens but I guess if you wanted a basic router you bought a low cost B&Q tool and if you wanted a CNC spindle you paid a bit more and got a quiet low run out Chinese water cooled spindle with VFD and all the interface controls that brings.

I gues that is true, never looked into those machines.

What i hate to see is all european manufacturing disappears.

Grtz Bert.

Well! For many years we have been sending all of our money to China. Then wonder why there is so little left to spend in the Western World. - "Viva Trumpo!"

Looking at the Wiki for Kress Elektrowerkzeuge, with my limited German, it looks as though Kress has been struggling since 2012. Their routers are good quality, but like any brushed motor router, noisy. I know, I have one.

We live in an age where too many people buy cheap and regard everything as disposable, so the 'built to last' philosophy is old thinking. Sad !

I use to be behind the "spend money in China = less money in western world".
While it is true, the fact is many companies have not innovated to stay ahead of what China can do.
Thus no wonder why people just buy from China now...

It's sad. Too bad they never bothered making brushless motors and motors with ER collets. I was considering them but dismissed because of those two reasons.
