As I stated posters seem to lean towards the technology they are

The mechanics would be a nightmare to me, also. To others the
electronics would be a nightmare.

Contactor and resistor?...way too complicated.

You want to put that monstrosity on a tilting arbour saw, mounted
under the saw table and in the path of the saw-dust and have it work
reliably???
Not going to happen - guaranteed.

It's BECAUSE I was a mechanic for several decades that I would NOT use
a brake caliper for the application.

As a guy who has done all of his own vehicle maintenance for 40 years now, I
have to ask what you observed in your experiences, that causes you to make
this statement? I don't know if the brake caliper idea is the most elegant
solution, but I sure can't see anything in what you are saying that would
suggest it is not a workable solution.
