You don't want to go there, your inverter is maybe 85% efficient and a switching power supply with enough amperage to run the 12 volt motor is probably going to be 80%-85% efficient, so right off the top you are drawing 30% or more amperage off of your vehicles electrical system.
Take the machine and hard wire it to the vehicles electrical system with an in-line fuse at the source of the power, the parts needed can be sourced from almost any automotive parts store, if you cannot find the parts or don't feel comfortable with building a wiring harness send me the specs, wire length, motor amperage and terminal size and I will build you one for $10-$15 + USPS Priority shipping.
