My preference is a jam nut. Just put another nut on and tighten it, ideally one on both sides of the connection. They use it for tie-rods on cars, it should hold the table saw.

Main advantage is it's easy to take apart, And doesn't require drilling or tapping what you have

Might not be enough thread for a full sized jam nut a half nut should do it. Stick a bit of loctite on there to be safe and it should be scookum as frig.

I too love me a good jam nut but in an environment with high vibrations and possibly temperature changes there's no beating a jamnut with locktite. Still can be undone without having to permanently change anything on the device, just need one more step (heat) to get it apart when you need to.
