I just reverse my Chipmaster 3 phase motor - the lever is on the headstock. If I don't want to be that brutal I use the clutch lever, which is on the headstock....
After getting 2 lathes with clutched spindles, I hate using ones without. The Monarch CY has a clutch too.

Thats where i like the foot brake. At slower speeds you can stop the spindle dead, and you still have both hands on the controls.
I often remove the need for precision stopping when threading anyway. Turn your tool upside down or use it in a rear mount holder and thread in reverse. You can thread at high speeds with no risk of crashing into a shoulder or blind hole. You don't even need a runout groove to start in, just plunge the tool in and engage the half nuts.
