Hi, Do you know anything about Dynamic Brakes on Lathes? Im needing to fit an emergency stop, like a Dead man Switch, but this must stop the machine instantly! Any Ideas?
 
Get in touch with the manufacturer of the lathe, you wont have been the first to fit one.
 
Most machines are required to stop within 10 seconds, instantly stopping a lathe with a screw on chuck would be very dangerous as the inertia in the chuck would make it unscrew from the spindle nose.

Have a word with your local electric motor supplier as the braking is usually wired through the motor.
