Kress is now AMB

Kress spindles are widely used by European manufacturers of CNC milling machines such as Pedcad, Techno Isel and others. It is rugged precision spindle manufactured in Germany. Whereas replacement spindles and parts are common in Europe they have been harder to find in North America.

Midwest has been importing spindles and repair parts from Kress-Elektrik for a number of years. Listed on our page are spindles as well as carbon brushes and collet/nut assemblies. We have access to other parts such as bearings and internal parts. If you don't see it here just call with your requirements.
