How much does the Hurco BX60i cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc boring machine in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hurco BX60i is the large machine of Hurco's BX family: 1,600 x 1,300 x 700 mm (62.99 x 51.18 x 27.56 in) of travel over a 1,900 x 1,300 mm (74.8 x 51.18 in) table that carries 6,000 kg (13,200 lb). The spindle is the BX high-speed unit, 20,000 rpm on an HSK-63A taper with 35 kW (47 hp) and 118.9 Nm (87.7 ft-lb). Hurco files the BX range with its 3-axis machining centers.
Scale is the difference from the BX50i, not cutting power. The spindle, the 30-tool magazine and the 1.5 sec tool change are the same on both. The BX60i adds travel on every axis and a table that takes three times the BX50i's 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), on a machine weighing 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) against 9,240 kg (20,371 lb). Y travel equals the 1,300 mm (51.18 in) table depth, so the full table area is reachable.
That combination, a very heavy and wide table with a fast, light spindle, points at large parts that need fine work rather than heavy stock removal: big mould plates, die sets, large aluminium plates and fixture plates. For roughing large steel parts Hurco's HBMx55i boring mill is the opposite approach, with a 2,500 rpm CAT 50 spindle giving 1,500 Nm (1,106.3 ft-lb).
Tools can be up to 80 mm (3.15 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb), and spindle nose to table is listed at 180 mm (7.1 in). With 700 mm (27.56 in) of Z on top of that, tall parts and long tool stacks have room. A 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) machine needs rigging, access and a floor checked well before delivery. The BX60i runs Hurco's WinMax control, with conversational and NC programming.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,600 x 1,300 x 700 mm (62.99 x 51.18 x 27.56 in) of travel over a 1,900 x 1,300 mm (74.8 x 51.18 in) table
- Table rated for 6,000 kg (13,200 lb), three times the 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) of the BX50i
- 20,000 rpm HSK-63A spindle with 35 kW (47 hp)
- 1.5 sec tool-to-tool time on the 30-tool magazine
- 700 mm (27.56 in) of Z travel for tall parts and long tool stacks
Limitations
- Spindle torque is 118.9 Nm (87.7 ft-lb), far below the 1,500 Nm (1,106.3 ft-lb) of the HBMx55i, so heavy steel roughing is not its job
- 30 tools and a 7 kg (15.4 lb) tool weight limit
- At 20,000 kg (44,000 lb) it needs rigging and a suitable floor planned before delivery
- No rotary axis in the listed table, so multi-sided parts need extra setups

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Size and capacity. The BX50i has 1,250 x 950 x 580 mm (49.21 x 37.4 x 22.83 in) of travel and a 1,360 x 960 mm (53.54 x 37.8 in) table for 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). The BX60i has 1,600 x 1,300 x 700 mm (62.99 x 51.18 x 27.56 in) and a 1,900 x 1,300 mm (74.8 x 51.18 in) table for 6,000 kg (13,200 lb). Spindle and magazine are the same.
02
When the job is torque rather than speed. The HBMx55i has a CAT 50 spindle at 2,500 rpm with 1,500 Nm (1,106.3 ft-lb), a 360° B axis and 60 tools. The BX60i runs to 20,000 rpm with 118.9 Nm (87.7 ft-lb), which favours finishing and light, fast cuts.
03
The magazine holds 30 HSK-63A tools and changes tool-to-tool in 1.5 sec. A tool can be up to 80 mm (3.15 in) in diameter, 300 mm (11.8 in) long and 7 kg (15.4 lb).
04
The machine weighs 20,000 kg (44,000 lb), and the table carries up to 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) on top of that. Plan the foundation, rigging route and crane or skate capacity before ordering.
