So what is your CNC machine normally meant to rub off? If it's 230V AC (normal mains) I don't see why you would need an inverter, unless the generator you have outputs DC (unusual apart for some made for welding I believe). Whatever generator you use I would make sure it's a good quality one with plenty of spare power and good voltage regulation.

You could have trouble with pulsing and surging if using a generator. CNC requires a very smooth continuous supply of power unlike power tools which will happily run on a fluctuating power source. This is why Rotary phase converters are not recommended for CNC equipment.
-use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
