The Custom Rotary Generator generates a spreadsheet where you input the specific parameters that apply to your rotary. It then generates a custom rotary configuration file. You can then load the rotary configuration file into the machine. The Custom Rotary Generator converts a rotary file for a machine with the Classic Haas Control (CHC) to a rotary file for a machine with NGC.
