    Before you do anything, locate your Caps Lock key and press it one time for us. Thank you.

    Now - on your mill - I don't think what you want to do is possible without a brake unless it is perfectly counterbalanced. There are other options.

    Search 'driving the knee' on this site - you will find this topic discussed numerous times.
