Default Motor Reversing

Nobody wants to stop a saw blade in one rev. Convenience stop only.

This was barked at when the SawStop came into comparison.

A car wheel spinning at 5000RPM's isn't stopped within a single rotation
by a caliper disc brake. Why would you expect a saw blade to be?

A car brake is designed to avoid locking up, yet that's exactly the
behavior you would want with a sawblade, and you'd want it to lock in
much less than a single revolution.
