An electric brake is a nice option but having to hit a switch to engage it is cumbersome. Automating the system so that any time the master power is cut or the reverse direction switch is set to neutral the brake engages is a much more user friendly option and is the project outlined in this video.
In my first video on electronic brakes, ( • Adding an Electric Bra... ) I wanted a way to add a usable brake to my my lathe for emergencies or operations like threading where I need to get in close to the shoulder and don't want to crash the tool. Because I have a DC motor on my Lathe I began researching braking resistors and ordered several so that I could run some tests and figure out which one was best for my application.
I then did a video on experimenting with resistor size • Adding an Electric Bra...

This is the relay I am using
amzn.to/3VAQ414
My machine came with the rotary switch. This one is a little biger but is corectly set up to be 3PDT
amzn.to/3De1ikt
This is the 4 pack of resistors I purchased from amazon for this experiment.
amzn.to/3y1IaDQ
There is also this option
4Ω 500W resistor
