MEDIUM BALL POINT "SUK"

Schmetz 135x17 SUK Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Medium Ball Point 

These Schmetz 135x17 SUK needles (also referred to as DPx17 SUK) are industrial-grade sewing machine needles designed for superior performance on tough and textured fabrics. The SUK medium ball point is rounder than the standard light ball point, offering smoother penetration without cutting through threads, reducing fabric damage and skipped stitches.

Perfect for applications involving coarse knitwear, medium to heavy denim, and corsetry, these needles are favoured in professional garment production environments. Their chrome coating enhances durability and resistance to heat and wear, even under high-speed operations.
