Want to replace current 10' cord with 25' cord.
Is 14-3 large enough?

Saw is 3 HP 220V. TIA, F


I'd buy a 25 ft, 10-2 /w/ ground molded cord set, chop off the
receptacle, wire it into the saw, get a beer and admire your handy
work.
What you save buying the molded cord set pays for the beer.

Well, 12 would likely suffice very nicely, but 10 is better of course from a
heavy load viewpoint. Personally I'd probably just use a good extension
cord; all that cord might not be necessary someday and then you'd be looking
at cutting it off.
