Used Hurco VMX60: Sell or Buy at Auction
Hurco is an American CNC machine tool builder known for the WinMax conversational programming system that makes complex parts programming accessible without extensive G-code knowledge. Hurco machining centers are popular in job shops and toolrooms where programming flexibility and quick setup are priorities.
The Hurco VMX60 is a large-format three-axis vertical machining center that sizes up the work envelope without changing the machine class a shop already knows. Its defining feature is a long X axis, roughly 60 inches of travel that gives the model its name, paired with about 26 inches in Y and around 24 inches in Z over a table roughly 66 inches long. That length is the point: it holds an oversized fixture or lines up several vises and parts in a single setup. What separates the VMX60 from Hurco's compact VMX models is reach, not a bigger spindle. It uses the same 40-taper spindle and the same WinMax conversational control as a VMX42, so a shop stepping up keeps Hurco's quick, low-code-knowledge programming and simply gains room to run longer parts and bigger jobs. At auction, long-bed Hurco machining centers like the VMX60 draw steady interest from job shops and manufacturers adding capacity, and KD Auctions puts every listing in front of its network of 500,000+ industry contacts to reach the right buyer quickly.
Buying a Used VMX60
Job shops, toolrooms, prototype shops, and small-to-medium manufacturers. The WinMax control's ease of use attracts buyers who value quick-turn capability and conversational programming over full G-code environments.

What is my Hurco VMX60 worth at auction?
There is no single figure that fits every VMX60. Value depends on the machine's age and spindle hours, its overall mechanical condition, the WinMax control version, and the tooling and accessories included, such as the toolchanger count, probing, and fixturing. KD Auctions provides a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal covering both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), so you have a documented, defensible starting point before you decide whether and when to sell.
How is the VMX60 different from a smaller Hurco VMX like the VMX42?
The difference is work envelope, not machine class. The VMX60 stretches to roughly 60 inches of X travel with about 26 inches in Y and a 66-inch-long table, so it can take on longer parts or several fixtures lined up in one setup, where a compact model like the VMX42 tops out near 42 inches of X. Both run the same WinMax conversational control and the same 40-taper spindle, so operators move between them without relearning programming. At auction that larger envelope tends to attract production and job shops adding capacity for bigger work, a somewhat different buyer than the one shopping a small toolroom-size mill.
