We Buy Used Hurco CNC Machines
Machine Tool Exchange is a direct buyer of used Hurco CNC machines nationwide. MTE buys Hurco VM and VMX vertical machining centers, U-series and VC 5-axis machines, BX bridge mills, DCX double-column machines, HM horizontals, and TM turning centers in any condition, single units or full fleets, with a quote in 24-48 hours and payment at pickup.
Hurco is the conversational-control brand that built American job shops. Founded in 1968 in Indianapolis and still an active US manufacturer, Hurco pioneered programming a part right at the machine, and that WinMax identity is exactly why small and mid-size shops, toolrooms, and prototype houses standardize on it. That installed base is large and it turns over, so when you decide to sell, the pool of buyers who already run WinMax and want more of the same is deep and specific.
MTE buys that equipment directly. We purchase your Hurco outright, we do not buy on consignment, and we pay at pickup, and we handle the rigging and freight at no cost to you. Whether it is a single VM10 in a back corner or a row of VMX machining centers coming out during a plant changeover, you get one quote, one contact, and one pickup. If you have a Hurco sitting idle, running in production, or anywhere in between, call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form on our sell page.
Why a Used Hurco Holds Its Value
Used Hurco machines hold their value because the WinMax conversational control and rigid job-shop build are what shops want, and a large North American installed base keeps the pool of used buyers deep. Hurco is still an active manufacturer supporting parts and service out of Indianapolis, so a clean used Hurco converts to cash with a known, supportable control and a buyer who already programs the same way.
The control is the story. Hurco runs the WinMax conversational control on the MAX 5 console, with UltiMotion smoothing the motion, and that combination lets a machinist program at the machine without a separate CAM seat. A shop that already trains its people on WinMax reaches for another Hurco first, because the programming, the fixturing habits, and the operators all carry over. Older machines on the legacy Ultimax control still run production and still sell, but WinMax and MAX 5 are what current buyers pay up for.
Three things drive a Hurco number on the used market. The first is the model and configuration: a VMX, a BX bridge mill, or a U-series five-axis commands more than an entry VM, and options like a 4th or 5th-axis rotary, through-spindle or high-pressure coolant, probing, and live tooling on a TM lathe add real value. The second is the control generation: machines on WinMax and the MAX 5 console generally bring more than older Ultimax-control machines, because that is what buyers want for current programming and connectivity. The third is condition and hours: spindle hours, way condition, and whether the machine is currently cutting accurate parts all move the number.
For context, secondary-market asking prices on used Hurco run a wide range. An older VM-series vertical can start around 15,000 dollars, a newer base machine or a well-optioned one runs past 25,000 dollars, and VMX, BX bridge, U-series five-axis, and DCX double-column machines climb higher with year, size, and options. Those figures are market context, not a quote. What your machine is worth depends on the model, the control generation, the hours, and the tooling, which is exactly what our valuation looks at.
Hurco Models We Buy
MTE buys the full Hurco lineup. Below are the model families we see and purchase most often. If your machine is not listed, it does not mean we will not buy it. Call 800-822-9524 and we will tell you.
VM and VMX Series Vertical Machining Centers
The VM and VMX verticals are the heart of the Hurco line and the broadest demand on the used market. We buy the value-priced VM ONE and VM10 compact verticals, and the full performance range of VMX machines, the VMX24, VMX30, VMX42, VMX50, VMX60, VMX64, and the large VMX84, including the i, SR, HSi, and U variants. A VMX24 or VMX42 with a clean WinMax control is the single most common Hurco we are asked to buy, and demand for it is constant. Because these are vertical machining centers, you can also sell your VMC of any brand to us, and sell your CNC mill if you have an older VM or a knee mill on the floor.
5-Axis Machining Centers, VMX-U, U-Series, and VC Cantilever
The five-axis machines are the premium end of the Hurco range and the fastest-rising in demand. We buy the trunnion-style VMX-U and U-series machines, including the BX40Ui and VMX-series U variants, and the VC cantilever five-axis like the VC500i. Five-axis capability is what shops upgrade into for aerospace, medical, and mold work, so a clean used Hurco five-axis commands the highest dollars per unit in the lineup and the buyer pool keeps growing. Sell your 5-axis CNC machine to us, Hurco or any other make.
BX and BXi Bridge and DCX Double-Column Machining Centers
The large-envelope Hurcos round out the milling side. We buy the BX40 and BX60 bridge machining centers, the BXi generation, and the DCX22 and DCX32 double-column machines built for production parts, large molds, and big plates. These machines carry strong value because the envelope and rigidity are expensive to replace, and the WinMax control keeps them easy to put back into a working shop. Whether you frame your machine as a bridge mill or a vertical, you can sell your VMC of this class to MTE.
TM, TMM, and TMX Turning Centers and Lathes
Hurco turning equipment holds value on the used market, and we buy all of it. That covers the TM-series slant-bed CNC lathes, the TMM and TMX turning centers, and the live-tooling, Y-axis, and sub-spindle variants that turn a basic lathe into a mill-turn cell. Live tooling, a sub-spindle, a bar feeder, and Y-axis capability all add to the number. If you run Hurco turning, you can sell your CNC lathe or sell your turning center to us directly, and if your TMX is set up as a mill-turn machine you can sell your multi-tasking machine to us as well.
HM Horizontals, HBMX Boring Mills, and Legacy Iron
Hurco horizontals and older models complete the lineup we buy. We purchase the HM-series horizontal machining centers and the HBMX horizontal boring mills, along with legacy BMC bed mills and KMB and KM knee mills, including machines still running the older Ultimax control. Horizontal machining centers carry strong production value, so you can sell your HMC to us, and if you have an HBMX boring mill you can sell your boring mill on the same pickup. A Hurco does not have to be a current model for us to write a check on it.

Why Hurco Owners Sell to MTE
Hurco owners sell to MTE when they upgrade to newer or higher-axis machines, right-size capacity after a contract ends, consolidate or relocate a facility, retire or settle a shop, standardize a fleet on one control generation, or clear idle and non-running units off the floor. In every case MTE buys the displaced Hurco outright and pays at pickup, so the machine turns back into capital instead of taking up floor space.
Hurco turns over on a predictable cycle because job shops are always moving, expanding, and changing hands. Here are the situations that most often bring a Hurco seller to MTE.
Shop Upgrade and Technology Refresh
This is the single biggest reason a Hurco comes off the floor. A shop replaces an older VM or VMX with a newer WinMax machine, moves from three-axis to a U-series five-axis, or steps up to a larger BX bridge mill for bigger parts. The retired machine still cuts accurate parts and still has plenty of buyers, but it no longer fits the plan. MTE buys the unit you are replacing so it is gone before the new install lands.
Capacity Right-Sizing
A contract ends, a product winds down, or a busy season passes, and a shop finds itself with more Hurco capacity than it needs. Rather than carry idle iron and pay to insure and house it, owners convert the extra machines to cash. We buy a single surplus VMX just as readily as several.
Facility Consolidation and Relocation
Mergers, footprint reduction, and moves push production into fewer buildings. When two shops become one, or when a plant relocates and the freight on aging equipment does not pencil out, the duplicate or oversized Hurco machines become surplus. MTE quotes the whole group on one pickup schedule.
Retirement and Estate Situations
When a job-shop owner retires or an estate has to settle a shop, the Hurco machines are often the most valuable and most liquid assets on the floor. Families and partners come to MTE because we make a clean, fast offer, handle the removal, and write one check rather than leaving them to manage a drawn-out sale.
Fleet Standardization and Idle Units
Larger shops periodically standardize on one control generation to simplify programming, tooling, and training, and the off-standard Hurco machines get sold to fund it. A machine sitting under power but unused, or one on the older Ultimax control waiting on a decision, is dead capital too. A Hurco does not have to be running for us to make an offer, and idle or non-running VM, VMX, and Ultimax-control machines still carry value.

How to Sell Your Hurco to MTE
Selling a Hurco to Machine Tool Exchange is a three-step process: tell us what you have, get a market-based quote within 24-48 hours, and we handle the rigging and freight and pay at pickup. There is no listing, no auction wait, and no commission.
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have
Call 800-822-9524 or fill out the form. Give us the model, year, and condition. For a Hurco, three details speed the quote and tend to raise the number: photos, spindle hours, and the control generation, meaning WinMax and MAX 5 versus the older Ultimax. Options matter too, so note any 4th or 5th-axis capability, through-spindle or high-pressure coolant, probing, or live tooling and a sub-spindle on a TM lathe. For more than one machine, a simple list with models and quantities is enough to start.
Step 2: Get a Quote Within 24-48 Hours
Our purchasing team values your Hurco against current secondary-market data along with the model, year, condition, spindle hours, control generation, and included tooling. Because Hurco trades actively in the job-shop used market, we can build an accurate, transparent number quickly. No lowball formulas, no pressure, no obligation.
Step 3: We Handle Rigging, Freight, and Pay at Pickup
Accept the quote and MTE takes it from there. We arrange and pay for rigging, crating, and freight nationwide, and we pay at pickup. We coordinate the removal around your schedule so the machine comes off the floor with no logistics cost or hassle to you, whether it is one VM10 or a row of VMX machining centers.
No listing your machine and waiting months. No auction gamble. No tire-kickers. One quote, one pickup, one payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Hurco models does MTE buy?
MTE buys Hurco VM and VMX vertical machining centers, U-series and VC 5-axis machining centers, BX and BXi bridge mills, DCX double-column machining centers, HM horizontal machining centers and HBMX horizontal boring mills, and TM, TMM, and TMX turning centers and lathes, along with legacy BMC and knee-mill models. Any model, any condition, any quantity, from a single VMX to a full fleet. If you have a Hurco that is not on this list, call 800-822-9524 and we will tell you if we buy it.
How much is my used Hurco worth, and how does MTE decide the price?
We value your Hurco using current secondary-market data along with the model, year, condition, spindle hours, control generation, and included tooling. Hurco holds its value because of the WinMax conversational control, the rigid job-shop build, a large North American installed base, and continuous OEM parts and service support, so a clean used Hurco has a deep pool of buyers. WinMax, the MAX 5 console, and UltiMotion options raise the number. You get a transparent, market-based offer with no lowball formulas and no obligation.
Does the WinMax control or extra options affect my Hurco's value?
Yes. The control generation matters: machines on WinMax and the MAX 5 console generally bring more than older Ultimax-control machines, because that is what buyers want for current programming. Options raise the number too, including 4th and 5th-axis capability, through-spindle or high-pressure coolant, probing, and live tooling or a sub-spindle on a TM lathe. Note the control generation and options when you contact us so the quote is accurate.
How fast can I get a quote for my Hurco?
Most quotes are returned within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your machine details. Call 800-822-9524 or submit the form on our sell page with the model, year, and condition. Including photos, spindle hours, and the control generation speeds up the process.
Does MTE buy non-running or older Hurco machines?
Yes. We buy Hurco machines in any condition: running in production, under power, sitting idle, or decommissioned. Older VM and VMX machines and machines on the legacy Ultimax control still carry value on the used market, and a machine does not need to be operational for us to make an offer.
Do you buy a single Hurco or a whole shop of them?
Both. We buy a single VMX or VM just as readily as a full fleet of Hurco machines or an entire shop. It is one quote, one contact, and one pickup, whether you are selling one machine or twenty.
When do I get paid, and does MTE buy on consignment?
MTE pays at pickup. We are a direct buyer that purchases your Hurco outright, so there is no consignment, no listing wait, and no auction. Payment is processed promptly once terms are finalized and the machine is collected.
