How much does the Hurco TMX10i cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc lathes / turning center in this class — not a quote from Hurco. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Hurco TMX10i is a 260 mm (10.24 in) chuck turning center whose defining figure is torque: 523 Nm (385.76 ft-lb) from a 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) spindle that tops out at 3,500 rpm. It turns up to 415 mm (16.34 in) in diameter and 634 mm (24.96 in) in length, takes bar up to 81 mm (3.19 in), and the machine weighs 7,200 kg (15,873 lb).
It shares its motor rating with the TMX8i, but the TMX8i delivers 369.2 Nm (272.3 ft-lb) and runs to 4,500 rpm on a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck. On the TMX10i the same power is geared toward low-speed work, about 42% more torque in exchange for a lower speed ceiling. That is the right balance for large-diameter steel, where surface speed is reached at modest rpm and the cut is limited by torque, not by spindle speed.
The other option on a 260 mm chuck, the TM10i, reaches further: 450 mm (17.72 in) in diameter and 758 mm (29.84 in) in length, but on 22 kW (29.5 hp) and 350.8 Nm (258.78 ft-lb) in a 5,014 kg (11,054 lb) machine. A shop that turns big, light-section parts may prefer the TM10i envelope; one roughing heavy bar and forgings within 415 mm (16.34 in) gets more out of the TMX10i.
Travels are 232.5 mm (9.15 in) on X, 660 mm (25.98 in) on Z and 740 mm (29.13 in) on W, all rapiding at 30 m/min (1181 ipm). Distance between centers is 852 mm (33.54 in). The 12-station turret holds 25 mm x 25 mm shanks and boring bars up to 40 mm (1.57 in). No live-tool figures are listed for this model; the TMX10MYi is the version with driven tools and a Y axis. Control is Hurco WinMax, conversational plus NC.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 523 Nm (385.76 ft-lb) from a 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) spindle, about 42% more torque than the TMX8i
- 81 mm (3.19 in) bar capacity on a 260 mm (10.24 in) chuck
- 415 mm (16.34 in) by 634 mm (24.96 in) turning envelope with 852 mm (33.54 in) between centers
- 7,200 kg (15,873 lb) machine weight to carry heavy roughing cuts
- W axis with 740 mm (29.13 in) of travel and 30 m/min (1181 ipm) rapids on all axes
Limitations
- Top speed is 3,500 rpm, which limits surface speed on small diameters and in aluminium
- No live-tool figures are listed; milled features need the TMX10MYi or a second operation
- The TM10i turns larger, 450 mm (17.72 in) by 758 mm (29.84 in), so the TMX10i is not the largest-envelope lathe for this chuck size
- Boring bars are limited to 40 mm (1.57 in) in diameter

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Both have a 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) spindle. The TMX10i uses it for 523 Nm (385.76 ft-lb) at up to 3,500 rpm on a 260 mm (10.24 in) chuck, with 81 mm (3.19 in) bar capacity. The TMX8i gives 369.2 Nm (272.3 ft-lb) at up to 4,500 rpm on a 210 mm (8.27 in) chuck.
02
The TM10i has the bigger envelope, 450 mm (17.72 in) by 758 mm (29.84 in), with 22 kW (29.5 hp) and 350.8 Nm (258.78 ft-lb). The TMX10i turns 415 mm (16.34 in) by 634 mm (24.96 in) but has 37.5 kW (50.29 hp) and 523 Nm (385.76 ft-lb). Pick on whether your parts are limited by size or by cutting force.
03
X travel is 232.5 mm (9.15 in), Z travel 660 mm (25.98 in) and W travel 740 mm (29.13 in). All three axes rapid at 30 m/min (1181 ipm). Swing over the bed is 640 mm (25.2 in) and swing over the cross slide 415 mm (16.34 in).
04
The turret has 12 stations. Turning tools use 25 mm x 25 mm shanks and boring bars can be up to 40 mm (1.57 in) in diameter. The table lists no driven-tool figures, so plan cross holes and flats for another machine or look at the TMX10MYi.
