MEDIUM BALL POINT "FG/SUK"

Groz Beckert 135x17 FG/SUK Industrial Sewing Machine Needles

The Groz Beckert 135x17 FG/SUK needle is equipped with a medium ball point (SUK), ideal for sewing through tough yet flexible materials like coarse knits and denim. Slightly rounder than a light ball point (SES), the SUK tip glides between fabric threads rather than slicing through them, preserving the strength and integrity of the material while producing clean, uniform stitches.

The chrome coating reduces wear and ensures smooth needle penetration in high-speed industrial machines, making it the go-to choice for applications like corsetry and stonewashed denim production.
