Have you measured motor current during overload condition and normal? Perhaps a motor overload relay/breaker of appropriate rating would do the job.

I apologize in advance for being off topic but need ideas (cheap and easy) for shutdown of a machine (Jet 25” planner) when overloaded, eg the drive belts are making high pitched sounds. My thought are: tach/generator on drive shaft and slave shaft. Integrate the voltage on each and trip when the integral hits a certain difference. I’m open to other approaches. : suggestions ? Machine is not mine but part of a makerspace with both good and clueless users. Thanks !
