I've a new Grizzly 17 inch band saw. I love it! However, I found it a bit disconcerting to watch the blade continue to run through the guides for about seven seconds after cutting the power.
I've no doubt whatsoever that it is the inertia of a huge armature on that 2 hp motor that causes it to continue after shut off.
The blade on my De Walt radial has an auto brake that stops it almost immediately so I know such devices are possible.
Does anyone know of a method for retrofitting an auto brake feature on the motor armature?
Thanks
