From the ceiling come down to the machine with a piece of 4 conductor

cable
sized for the machine (10 gauge for 30 amp, 8 for 60 amp) put a recpticale
on the end and come out of the machine with a 2 or 3 foot cable with a

plug.
You didn't say what size machines they where (Power wise not physical

size)

SO is rated differently than romex. With 4 current carrying conductors, 10
Ga is
good for 20 amps, 8 Ga. is good for 28 amps and 6 ga is good for 36 amps.
Table 400.5
