Well, I finally have my Sawstop all set up and ready to go. The problem is that the plug on the thing will not fit my 220 receptacle. I've been to Lowes and HD, neither have a socket that will fit the cord. I don't really want to chop up the cord to change the plug, but I did buy a matching plug.

Before I chop up the cord on the saw, has anybody made a 220V cord themselves? I've got the plug, I just need to know what kind of wire to use. I need about 9 to 10 feet of cord, the circuit is rated for 50 amps, the saw motor draws 13 amps.

Any advice would be appreciated, and might save the time delay of an electrician visit.
