Default Another Electrical question

When I had a 220V circuit added for my shop I had the electrician put in
an outlet at a convenient location and told him I wanted a 20ft. cord. I
just
move the cord wherever I need it. I purchased one of those rubber/plastic
covers that sits flat on the floor and protects the cord. There are
probably
better ways to do this but this one is convenient and, I think, safe. As
other
posters have said in this thread, you could make the cord yourself as long
as you get the right materials and plugs.

As I posted in another thread I am wiring my garage for 220V for my new
bandsaw. I will eventually be buying a new table saw in the future (once
SWBO forgets about the bandsaw purchase).

I am trying to determine how I would feed the TS power from the same
outlet. Of course I will not be running the two at the same time. I'm not
as think as you stupid I am!

Could I make my own extension cord from #10 and run it through some
flexible conduit? Does the metal flexible conduit need to be grounded?

Thanks
