I am considering getting a 220 volt table saw but have 220 volt
available at the entrance to my garage and would have to have an
extension cord of 10 feet or so.

Is that a problem and if not are they comercially available? I have
never seen anything in 220 but am not use to the search.

IME, 220v extension cords are hard to come by locally, and cheaper to make
yourself. Just use the proper gauge wire, preferably stranded for an
extension cord, for the amperage of your circuit, and you will be fine.

For my table saw I made a 15' extension cord out of the 10 ga stranded wire,
which is the same size in the circuit to the receptacle. Male and female
plugs are generally available at the BORGs.
