I need to install a surface mount outlet box to power my recently purchased used Delta 36-812 Unisaw.
Details:
- Outlet will be wall mounted indoors about 10' from main panel box.
- I want to use the Electric Dryer 30 Amp circuit breaker (currently unused). I could change the breaker to 20 Amp if necessary.
- The molded plug on the Unisaw has two horizontal blades and a round ground pin.
- The Unisaw data plate says it uses 12.4 Amps at 230V, single phase.
- I purchased a NEMA 6-20R (20A-250V) single outlet from Home Depot which has two live and one ground connectors.
- I was going to run flexible conduit from the panel box to the outlet.
My questions are: Is that the correct outlet to use?
What wire do I need? (I'm thinking Red, Black and Green, 12 gage.
Thanks, Pete
