I use the foot brake for a lot of that sort of work.  When I step
partway down it kills the motor, and the rest of the way engages a
mechanical brake.  The only little hiccup, is my brain baulks at having
to turn the lever off and back on again, until my hand feels its already
on.

I agree that a modern industrial lathe is better if you can justify the 
investment. The obsolete ones with threaded spindles and leather belt drives 
can still be useful in a home hobby shop, or to experiment and invent if no 
longer to efficiently make a product for profit.
