My grandpa owned a welding and machine shop back in the 70s / 80s. When it closed down (I assume this is where we got it from), we got an old cast iron table saw that was originally powered by one of those overhead shaft and belt systems, retrofitted to use an electric motor. Don't know that I ever used it myself. It had a ~1/2" deep channel for the push block to slide through though, which seems like it would maybe help to keep you from doing something stupid with it.
As a side note, wasn't Johnny Cash's brother killed in a saw mill accident? Seems like a saw mill is basically a very large table saw from what I've seen of them.
