The industry workhorse is powerful and fast
VMX42
 

If there is a one-size-fits-all machining center, this is it. The VMX42 handles applications of virtually any complexity (the flexibility of the controls are unmatched).

The VMX42 has the most popular work cube in the industry. That’s a good place to begin the comparisons with other brands. Then consider the small footprint, fast feed rates, 24-station tool changer and the complete programming flexibility of the WinMax control, you’ll quickly see there really is no comparison. The VMX42 stands alone.

All Hurco VMX models include many standard features that are typically offered as options on most other vertical machining center brands.
