I am getting ready to purchase a new 3 hp Unisaw with the 50" Beis fence. Can somebody tell me if it comes wired with cord and plug or will I have to supply all that? The place I am buying it from won't be open until Tuesday and I want to make sure I have everything together during the long weekend. I have searched and can't seem to find that info anywhere.

Bought an X5 Uni a year and a half ago and it came wired with a cord and 15 amp style plug.

Yeah, I just got my Delta 36-732 (their import version of the Unisaw). It too has the 15 amp, 240 plug on it.

Seemed odd to me, because being a 3HP motor, it requires a 20 amp circuit. In fact the owner's manual specifically says it requires a 20 amp circuit, so I don't get why they didn't put a 20 amp plug on it to prevent you from plugging it into a 15 amp receptacle.

Oh well...
