    Parts required for a new 60amp circuit
    I just bought some new woodworking equipment. The vendor advised me to install a dedicated 60amp circuit. I know how to wire the electrical circuit, but not what kind of wire to buy to run from the breaker panel to the outlet box. What is the spec on the wire required for a 60 amp ciccuit?

    If individual wires pulled in a conduit, use #6 THHN/THWN.

    If MC cable use #6.

    If Romex, use #4
