Yes, you should be good. 10-3 is plenty big for the size motor the DJ-20 has installed.
just to clarify The 12 foot length will be ok ?
12 feet is too short!:crybaby2: it wont reach to my shop.
unless you move the joiner closer!:rolf: seriously that cord will be fine.fred

Yup, all is good. That distance is not to far at all. The only interesting thing is supposedly you are not supposed to use an extension cord that has a larger wire size then is in the wall. I don't remember why though.
Jon, I had a similar issue with my dust collector and found that buying an extension cord (with the appropriate wire) was less expensive than buying the needed cable. Cut off the ends that are not needed and wire directly to the machine. The ones I am using are orange and they are more visible on the floor.

That is a very true statement. When I was upgrading my Delta bandsaw I was going to buy some 12-3 wire and a male 110V plug. It was cheaper to buy a drop cord and cut the unneeded end off of it.

I use NEMA L6-20 plugs/receptacles on my 240V/20 Amp circuits (Tablesaw and Shaper) and L6-30's on my Woodmaster Drum Sander. All of them have hard-wired cords that are 10/3 with separate equipment ground wire. The advantage of using these twist lock plugs is they don't fall out. I also just bought some #10/2 NM wire for my new dust collector and paid more than $1/foot for it -- copper has gone sky-high!
