So, I have a 1 HP Bridgeport on a VFD. The time has come to install a
braking resistor. I had it for a while, but wanted to install the DRO
first. With the DRO, and wiring better organized, installing brake
resistor is more pleasant.

The question is about stopping time.

Right now (without the external brake resistor), I have the mill set
to stop in 1 second. That works at most speeds, except at highest RPM
it trips on overvoltage and then coasts to stop.

Just what can I realistically expect with a brake resistor? Would you
say that I could expect to stop it in 1/2 second at all speeds?
