Is there a conversion plug allowing a 3 prong 240V dryer outlet to be used to power a table saw with a 240V volt 3 hp motor when the dryer is unplugged and not in use?

The correct answer to your question will depend on the exact locations used for the present clothes dryer and the planned powered table saw unit and also its power rating in (watts) compared to the dryer. The reason you need to know this for a very important technical reason: compared to the dryer the saw would probably take a different load current and would therefore need a different sized breaker on the main panel and a separate branch circuit cable having a different wiring size as well as a different sized outlet.
<><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

For convenience I install the receptacle just above the backboard of the dryer. This way if the dryer is to be moved out of its location it can be unplugged before the move is started.
