Honer, I think I can provide a rough answer to your question. I am an electrician and while I'm not an expert on motors one of the people at my office is. He says that a capacitor start motor like the one on the Tormek will typically draw 4 - 6 times its normal power at startup. If I get a chance I will try to measure the startup current on my Tormek and give you a better answer.
What was the make and model of the inverters you've tried?
Have you found one that works?
I'm kind of in the market for an inverter, though not specifically to run the Tormek, and it would be nice to know what works and what doesn't.
I hope this helps.
Jim,
