Scrap? I think not.

Here's a wikipedia thing on three phase, near the bottom of the "phase converters" section looks like a couple possibly usable options to use three phase on a single phase system

Looking on Ebay, similar radial arm saws range from $300 for a scratched up model with no table top to $1725 for a nice clean one in FL except the one in FL is single phase. I sure won't scrap this thing. This is a beautiful piece of machinery. I was a cabinet maker for 9 years but that was over 20 yrs ago.

This! My father-in-law has successfully converted three-phase motors to run on normal household current. It can be done. I don't know how, but look into it!
