I got the wire and upgrading the run will only take an hour or so to
replace -- its all exposed wiring -- I think I'll go with the 10Ga...

I have my 1ph-5hp-PM66 on a 20 amp dedicated w/ 10ga wire to the
outlet.
IIRC after getting the saw setup, I checked the amp draw at startup and
got
18amp reading. Also, IIRC I saw 15amp while running.

YMMV

I've not had any problem with this setup. I was comfortable with the
20amp
service to the saw after doing some study and research on the same
issue
while I was waiting for my saw to arrive.

However, this is your baby (and your home or shop). You would
certainly be
on the safe side with 30amp. I would not scrimp on the wiring ... do
10ga.
