How much does the Hurco TM8MYi cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hurco TM8MYi is a compact turning center with a Y axis: 55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel at 12 m/min (472 ipm), a 12-station turret with 5,000 rpm driven tools rated 11.9kW (16 HP), and a 22.6 kW (30.3 hp) main spindle on a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck. Maximum turning size is 320 mm (12.6 in) in diameter by 375 mm (14.76 in) in length.
Y travel is what lets a lathe mill features that do not sit on the part's centerline: offset holes, keyways cut with an end mill, flats with a true flat bottom and pockets on the face. Without it those features are either interpolated with the C axis or sent to a mill. With 55 mm (2.17 in) available, the useful range is features on parts of modest diameter, which matches the size of this machine.
The driven tools are also a step up. They deliver 37.8 Nm (27.9 lb-ft), where the TM8Mi's live tools are rated 4.6 kW (6.17 HP) and 29.3 Nm. That makes real milling cuts practical rather than only drilling. The turret takes 25 mm x 25 mm shanks and boring bars up to 32 mm (1.26 in), and the tooling interface is listed as BMT55.
The compromise is length. Turning length is 375 mm (14.76 in), shorter than the 497 mm (19.57 in) of the TM8Mi, so long shafts belong on that machine. X travel is 232 mm (9.1 in), Z 550 mm (21.65 in), with 597 mm (23.5 in) between centers and 490 mm (19.29 in) of swing. The spindle gives 263.6 Nm (194.7 ft-lb) up to 4,000 rpm and accepts bar up to 64.5 mm (2.54 in). The machine weighs 4,490 kg (9,899 lb) and runs Hurco WinMax, conversational plus NC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel for off-center holes, keyways and flats
- Driven tools at 5,000 rpm with 11.9kW (16 HP) and 37.8 Nm (27.9 lb-ft)
- 320 mm (12.6 in) turning diameter, more than the 256 mm (10.08 in) of the TM8Mi
- 25 mm x 25 mm turret shanks on a 12-station turret
- 64.5 mm (2.54 in) bar capacity with a 22.6 kW (30.3 hp) spindle
Limitations
- Turning length is 375 mm (14.76 in), against 497 mm (19.57 in) on the TM8Mi
- Y travel of 55 mm (2.17 in) limits off-center features to modest offsets
- Y rapid is 12 m/min (472 ipm), well below the 30 m/min (1181 ipm) on X and Z
- Boring bars are limited to 32 mm (1.26 in) in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions
01
55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel at 12 m/min (472 ipm). With driven tools it allows holes, slots and flats away from the centerline to be cut directly, instead of being interpolated with the C axis or moved to a mill.
02
The TM8MYi has Y travel, a 320 mm (12.6 in) turning diameter and 25 mm turret shanks. The TM8Mi has no listed Y travel and turns 256 mm (10.08 in) in diameter, but reaches 497 mm (19.57 in) in length against 375 mm (14.76 in). Both run to 4,000 rpm on a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck.
03
The driven tools run to 5,000 rpm and are rated 11.9kW (16 HP) with 37.8 Nm (27.9 lb-ft) of torque. The tooling interface is listed as BMT55 and turning shanks are 25 mm x 25 mm.
04
The machine weighs 4,490 kg (9,899 lb). Swing over the bed and over the cross slide are both 490 mm (19.29 in), distance between centers is 597 mm (23.5 in), and travels are 232 mm (9.1 in) on X and 550 mm (21.65 in) on Z.
