Good morning gents.
I am awaiting a MM20 saw and in my evening hours I have been wiring the shop for it, along with a dust collector. I'm running separate conduits for each tool and, of course, separate breakers.
From what I have read the MM20 comes wired for an L6-30 Twist lock outlet, so I bought that outlet.
Am I correct in my understanding that what I need for this are two hots (red and black) and a ground (3 wire). I'm running individual wires through conduit, using 10ga copper.
I ran my wire with the mistaken assumption that I needed 4 wires, and so I have a white wire in the run, which now I believe I can simply cap off.
Is it a safe assumption that all 240v single phase tools that I purchase will be 3 wire?
I don't wire often, so sometimes it takes me a little while to get my bearings, so thank you for any help offered.
