You can get static phase converters pretty cheap these days. If the motor is rated for inverter duty, you can get a variable frequency drive.
If you only have 120V available, there are VFDs for running three phase 208-230V motors, but you are limited in power.
A lot of knee mills are single phase, just check the motor nameplate.

We only have 120V availible.
