experience of the Kress spindles

[Jonathan]

How is their reliability, accuracy and noise levels?

However you look at it it's still a router, not a 'proper spindle' with an induction motor. So noise and reliability will not be as good as the water cooled spindles from china. Similarly for accuracy.

Having said that it clearly depends on what you're using it for? If you're only ever doing, for instance, wood carving then I'm sure it would be fine. I once posted here asking about them and was persuaded to get the 2.2kW water cooled spindle. I wasn't going to get one initially due to the cost, but I got some free money from university for A-level results so decided to spend it on upgrading router . I'm not regretting it at all.
