I have a document with a table that is rather large. I have already decreased the size of the font but it still bleeds into the right margin. I would like to decrease the margins on that page so it uses some of the left margin as well, however, leave the margins on other pages as is. Is there a way to do this? I am using endfloat so the table is on it's own page.

The KOMA-Script classes uses DIV=default as default option for the page layout. default for a4paper and 11pt means 10. But with 10pt and a4paper default is only 8 resulting in bigger margins.
If you really want you can set DIV=10, but you will get a warning. Maybe DIV=9 is a compromise:
\documentclass[10pt,DIV=9]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blindtext[6]
\end{document}
The oneside option for the book class allows you to do what you want:
\documentclass[12pt, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[top = 1.2cm, bottom = 1.2cm, left = 2cm, right = 1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\chapter{1}
\blindtext[5]
\chapter{2}
\blindtext[5]
\chapter{3}
\blindtext[5]
\end{document}

will make a table that sticks 1cm into the margin on each side without TeX complaining.
