Wiring a table saw
I have a Delta table saw that has a 230v 20 amp motor. I am wondering what size wire and breaker to run for this. i will run this across the top of my basement and up into the wall of the garage. Do I need to put this into conduit to get through the garage wall as well? Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
If it is exposed in the garage it should be in pipe. If it's inside the garage wall just NM cable would be fine.
240v at 20A sounds a little high. The motor should only draw around 10A at 240vac.
For anything under 15A motor load.... #12 would be fine.

We'll wait on the OP to respond, but my Delta Unisaw at 5hp may run as much as 20 amps. I only have it protected at 20 amps on 240 volts and it operates fine. He may be reading FLA, too.
