Does anyone know of a simple mitre saw that uses less than 900 Watts
(240V). i want to be able to run it on a Honda 1.0i generator which is
rated at 900W continuous, 1000W short burst.

This is the closest (but no cigar) candidate so far:

Many thanks

This one is fine for under 900W ..... have one myself:

I wouldn't rely on it working with the genny. Chances are that it has a
start-up current far in excess of the 4 amps or so it takes under steady
state conditions.

Looking at the picture, I suspect its start-up current is remarkably low ;-)
