Hurco TM10i vs Hurco TM10Mi
Hurco vs Hurco · CNC Lathes
Summary
The Hurco TM10i is a 2-axis turning center and the Hurco TM10Mi is its mill-turn sibling, so they serve different jobs on a shared frame. Both have 250 mm (9.84 in) of X travel, 790 mm (31.1 in) of Z, an 81 mm (3.19 in) bar capacity, a 260 mm (10.24 in) chuck, a 3,000 rpm A2-8 spindle, 12 tools, 30 m/min rapids and the Hurco WinMax control.
The TM10i swings the larger part, with a 450 mm (17.72 in) maximum turning diameter against 295 mm (11.61 in), and turns 758 mm (29.84 in) long against 738 mm (29.05 in). The TM10Mi has the stronger spindle drive, 40 kW (53.64 hp) against 22 kW (29.5 hp) and 520.2 Nm (383.99 ft-lb) against 350.8 Nm (258.78 ft-lb), and adds milling capability for cross-holes and flats.

Advantages
Hurco TM10i
- 450 mm (17.72 in) maximum turning diameter against 295 mm (11.61 in)
- 758 mm (29.84 in) maximum turning length against 738 mm (29.05 in)
- Lighter machine at 5,014 kg (11,054 lb) against 5,414 kg (11,936 lb)
Hurco TM10Mi
- 40 kW (53.64 hp) spindle power against 22 kW (29.5 hp)
- 520.2 Nm (383.99 ft-lb) spindle torque against 350.8 Nm (258.78 ft-lb)
- Mill-turn capability for cross-holes, flats and tapped features in one setup
Verdict
Choose by the features on the part. The Hurco TM10i is the better buy for pure turning of flanges, couplings and hydraulic cylinders up to 450 mm in diameter, where the larger swing matters more than live tooling. The Hurco TM10Mi suits fittings, valve bodies and hydraulic parts with radial holes and flats under 295 mm in diameter, finished complete without a trip to a VMC.
