Does anyone have tips on how to buy quality router spindles? I see a wide variety of prices for what appears to be the same unit, and it’s not clear that paying more magically results in a higher-quality component. I understand that paying low is usually a good way to get a low-quality component, but that doesn’t mean that paying high guarantees high quality…

I’m hobbyist here, not looking for top-drawer. I would just like to understand what to look for and how to understand what tradeoffs I’ll be making, and what sources (I’m in the US) would be considered reasonably trustworthy.
