Hi chip, I just started the Suhner spindle, it is very quiet at 3500 rpm, then probably it is just a bit quieter at comparable rpm than the Kress spindle. I would say that the spindle sound is not that relevant when you mill into the wood :).

Suhner seems a bit more solid, significantly heavier, but the finishing of the Kress spindle seems to me better. I have a Kress FME1050 for over one year now, and I am very happy with it, I was just looking to have a spindle with lower rpm at the lower end. I will let you know about the Suhner when I will really start working with it, but if you do not install an ATC stay away from it, as you will need two spanners to change the bit (no locking button on Suhner - I would probably go for the FME1050-1 in that case).

Hope this helps.
