    I find that the best deal is to buy a 12ga extension cord and cut the ends off.

    No power cord or plug comes with the PM3520C. I already verified that with Powermatic and the Manual also says no cord. The cord I bought, 25’ of 12-3 will be the power cord. It’s unclear if I will use the full 25’ but will make the final decision when I get the lathe in place. I believe the cord needs to be long enough to stretch to the tail stock end of the lathe since I think the cord is wired into the On/Off power switch which moves with the headstock. I just wanted to be sure 25’ wasn’t too long in case I need it all.
