Default Motor Reversing

You must be a controls or P&C guy with WNH!

Use a DC motor and a DPDT switch with a big resistor across the "stop"
terminals to short the motor when you shut it off. Stop a 10 inch
blade from 3600rpm in less trha a second with a dead short (if the
switch can handle it) or in about 2 seconds with a good "soft" braking
resistor.
