Default Want longer cord for Delta TS

Whoa. Ask a seemingly simple question . . . . which was what size power
cord for a 25' run for a 3 HP 220V single phase tablesaw.
Looked through Delta manual, and they recommend 14 ga up to 50'. Found a 12
ga 25' cord at WM which will cover my intermittent use. Thanks all.

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

Saw is 3 HP 220V. TIA, F

I would stick with an extension cord rather than attach a 25' cord
directly to your saw. It will only work with the saw if you attach it.

Something to consider, while many have stated that the 12 ga. will work
fine, If you go 10 ga. you can use it to also power those larger pieces
of equipment you may get in the future. I run a 4.5 hp Laguna BS on a 10
ga.
Too big is not a problem, too small will be.
