   I use the foot brake for a lot of that sort of work.  When I step   
   partway down it kills the motor, and the rest of the way engages a   
   mechanical brake.  The only little hiccup, is my brain baulks at having   
   to turn the lever off and back on again, until my hand feels its already   
   on.

   I agree that a modern industrial lathe is better if you can justify the   
   investment. The obsolete ones with threaded spindles and leather belt drives   
   can still be useful in a home hobby shop, or to experiment and invent if no   
   longer to efficiently make a product for profit.
