I wouldn't. I've got a Kress, they are just as noisy as any other brushed motor router.

The Kress is MUCH noisier than any brushless motor of the same (or even higher) power. My 1.5kW brushless spindle is definitely much quieter than the 1kW Kress. Perhaps you misunderstood my post... ;)

My point was that a Kress spindle is just a BRUSHED motor and it is noisy. As noisy as any other BRUSHED hand held routers that I have in my workshop. Kress call it a spindle as it has better front bearings than a hand held router, giving it less run-out and more suitability for long switch-on periods as in CNC routing.
