GROZ BECKERT DBX1/1738/16X257 FG SIZE 100/16 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

The Groz Beckert 16X231 NM 100 / Size 16 FG/SUK needles are expertly engineered for sewing elastic, rubberised, and loose-knit materials. The SUK medium ball point allows the needle to part fibers without piercing them—making it ideal for fabrics that stretch or snag easily.

These chromium-coated industrial needles ensure long-lasting durability and smooth stitch formation, even at high speeds. Fully compatible with common industrial systems like DBX1, 16X231, 1738, 16X257, and more, these needles are suited for double lock stitch (Class 300) machines.
