GROZ BECKERT DBX1/1738/16X257 FG SIZE 65/9 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

The Groz Beckert 16X231 NM 65 / Size 9 FG/SUK needles feature a medium ball point (SUK) that is expertly designed for use on elastic and loose-knit fabrics. The ball point gently pushes fibres aside during penetration, reducing the risk of snags or damage—ideal for sewing applications requiring stretch resilience and smooth stitching.

Crafted with a durable chromium coating and a precision-ground scarf, these needles perform reliably in double lock stitch machines under stitch type class 300. Compatible with a wide range of industrial machines, they are particularly suited for soft, elastic, or rubber-rich fabrics.
