If a power saw is 12volts will a 400 watt inverter be sufficient?
No. The 12volts will not make a difference. The inverter converts the 12volts to 110/115volts. A 400watt inverter is not sufficient to run a power saw or any heavy power equipment like that. Laptops consume 20-50watts, while a coffee pot would consume more like 200-400watts. Your power equipment is a much heavier load, between 1000-4000watts depending on if it is a power saw or something larger. A basic 7 1/4 circular saw will use anywhere from 1000-2500 watts on starting and will draw a constant 800-1500 watts. Keep in mind it will draw more as you put it under load of cutting something, this will not run on a 400 watt inverter, let alone an 800 or 1000watt. You could however possibly run a power drill on that inverter, but otherwise no luck.
