How much does the Hurco TMX-8MY 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 TMX8MYi is the Y-axis, live-tooling version of the TMX8i turning center: a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck, a 25 kW (33.5 hp) spindle to 4,500 rpm, 55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel and a 12-station turret with 5,000 rpm driven tools. It turns parts up to 274.6 mm (10.81 in) in diameter and 527 mm (20.75 in) long, and weighs 7,500 kg (16,535 lb).
Set beside the TMX8i, the table shows what the milling capability costs. The TMX8i has a 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) spindle with 369.2 Nm (272.3 ft-lb) and turns up to 356 mm (14.01 in) in diameter. The TMX8MYi drops to 25 kW (33.5 hp) and 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb), and its turning diameter to 274.6 mm (10.81 in). In return it gains the Y slide, driven tools and more X travel: 285.5 mm (11.24 in) against 203 mm (8 in) on the TMX8i. A shop whose parts carry off-center holes and milled flats saves a second setup; a shop doing mostly heavy plain turning is better served by the TMX8i.
The driven tools are rated 6.3 kW (8.5 HP) and 27.6 Nm (20.4 lb-ft). That is sized for drilling, tapping and moderate end milling rather than heavy pocketing. The turret takes 25 mm x 25 mm shanks and boring bars up to 40 mm (1.57 in), and its interface is listed as BMT65.
Rapids are 24 m/min (945 ipm) on X, 12 m/min (472 ipm) on Y and 30 m/min (1181 ipm) on Z and on the W axis, which travels 640 mm (25.2 in). Distance between centers is 754 mm (29.68 in), swing is 508 mm (20 in) over both bed and cross slide, and bar capacity is 64.5 mm (2.54 in). If the parts also need back-working, the TMX8MYSi adds a sub-spindle on the same frame. Control is Hurco WinMax, conversational plus NC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel and 5,000 rpm driven tools for off-center features in one setup
- 285.5 mm (11.24 in) of X travel, against 203 mm (8 in) on the TMX8i
- 7,500 kg (16,535 lb) machine weight for a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck lathe
- Boring bars up to 40 mm (1.57 in) and 25 mm x 25 mm turning shanks
- W axis with 640 mm (25.2 in) of travel at 30 m/min (1181 ipm)
Limitations
- Main spindle is 25 kW (33.5 hp) and 238.7 Nm (176.1 ft-lb), well below the 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) of the TMX8i
- Turning diameter is 274.6 mm (10.81 in), against 356 mm (14.01 in) on the TMX8i
- Live tools rated 6.3 kW (8.5 HP) and 27.6 Nm (20.4 lb-ft) limit heavy milling
- No sub-spindle; parts needing back-working go to the TMX8MYSi

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The TMX8MYi has 55 mm (2.17 in) of Y travel, 5,000 rpm live tools and 285.5 mm (11.24 in) of X travel. The TMX8i has no listed live tooling but a stronger 37.5 kW (50.29 hp), 369.2 Nm (272.3 ft-lb) spindle and a 356 mm (14.01 in) turning diameter, against 274.6 mm (10.81 in).
02
The TMX8MYSi adds a sub-spindle rated 6,000 rpm, 15 kW (20.1 HP) and 102.2 Nm (75.4 lb-ft), so the back of a part can be machined without a second setup. Travels, main spindle and turret are the same on both.
03
The driven tools run to 5,000 rpm and are rated 6.3 kW (8.5 HP) with 27.6 Nm (20.4 lb-ft) of torque. The turret interface is listed as BMT65, and turning tools use 25 mm x 25 mm shanks.
04
X travel is 285.5 mm (11.24 in), Y 55 mm (2.17 in), Z 560 mm (22.05 in) and W 640 mm (25.2 in). Rapids are 24 m/min (945 ipm) on X, 12 m/min (472 ipm) on Y and 30 m/min (1181 ipm) on Z and W.
