The TM8MYi slant-bed lathe features live tooling capabilities and a Y-axis to machine a pocket with straight walls and flat bottoms or perform off-center machining operations. It also has a bi-directional, servo-driven live tool delivering speeds up to 5,000rpm for dynamic milling, drilling, and tapping. Engineered for durability and performance, the TM8MYi features a Renishaw swing-down tool setter for quick setups, linear roller ways to reduce vibration and increase rigidity, and direct-drive linear axes for faster axis response and improved accuracy.

A robust BMT55 turret ensures maximum rigidity. The powerful main spindle, delivering 15.5hp and 72.4 lb-ft of continuous torque, provides reliable performance for heavy-duty applications.

An 8" chuck, maximum turning diameter of 12.60", drag-and-drop tailstock, A2-6 spindle nose, and spindle bore diameter of 3.07" lets the lathe handle a wide range of turning operations.

The control includes conversational programming and NC in addition to NC/Conversational Merge, a feature unique to the Hurco control.
