We don't like people who lean right on INGO. You fail the purity test!
My buddy just had surgery today. Decided to try and miter saw his fingers. Lucky for him it is his left hand.

Yeah. The wood bucked on him, then, since he has a sliding miter, it pushed it out when he was pushing back. Pulled his hand up and under. Got his middle and pointer.
OUCH!!!!
Were they able to save them?
Went and saw him Saturday. Wrapped from elbow to fingertips to keep things from bending out of place.
Unisaw. End of discussion.
Mine is an early 1960s vintage. Bought it at an auction for $300. Dad picked up one from an auction at a local local high for $100, but it was 3 phase. He bought a new single phase, 220 motor for it for around $300.
IMHO, a table saw is the heart of a woodshop. it's worth it long term to spend the extra $$$ and go with a commercial grade tool.
Today, the smarter option might be to get a VFD and leave the 3-phase motor in place. They are so cheap now and good that you can easily power a 3-phase 240V motor off single phase 120V AC.
I used mine last night. I'm terrified of it. It's basically a table with a circular saw mounted on the bottom. The switch to the table is broken, so if it's plugged in then it's running. It does the job, but man I hate that thing.

I'm finding getting them to move again to be a real chore.
Checking in to see how it is going!
