I see the voltage of the PCNC 1100 is 220 volts, I am wondering what the current draw is? I am trying to see what my box breaker and wiring would have to be rated at to have this one...
I thought that was all cleared up here?

If you have the option of running on 240v and the spec is 20amps on 120, the on 240 it will be 10 amps.
Oops, I see a different model?
According to the 1100 manual it says current draw under 15amps but 20a recommended, usually the largest draw in a CNC is the spindle.

No, this is a separate issue, I am running a new line in the garage and since I am going through the trouble I want to run a line that will give me the capability to run the other machine as well. I don't want to get this done, then turn around and have to run another line some months down the line.
Well if you follow the manual, they recommend 20A, in spite of the claim it runs under 15A?
What HP is the spindle on the 1100?
If you intend wiring for both machines and also allow for other loads, then I would suggest running #6 3wire and ground with a 50A breaker.
For load splitting you should have a local fused disconnect in the garage.
