Oh look, same thing but larger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Trapezium-500W-100ohm-Aluminum-Housed-Wire-Wound-Braking-Resistor-/281080278842?hash=item4171b0af3a:g:VqMAAMXQ855RwVCg
From what I'd Googled, the wattage can be much lower with drives for spindles that just need them to stop on a low duty (<1/min).
