Some of the newer vfd's can even convert 115 to 220 3phase.

But, at what cost to install and overall performance? You might find an old Bridgeport for a few hundred dollars, but what will you have invested by the time you can use it at home?
I agree that shear mass has a lot to do with good work. That's true with a good table saw. (Which needs only a quality blade to be as smooth as silk.)
