SCHMETZ 135X16 DIA/DPX16 DIA SIZE 125/20 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 135x16 DIA Size 125 (NM 125 / Size 20) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Sew through tough, heavy-duty materials with ease using this pack of 10 Schmetz 135x16 DIA industrial sewing machine needles, compatible with DPx16 DIA systems. Built for industrial lockstitch machines, these chrome-coated needles feature a DI (Diamond Point) design, offering smooth penetration and precise stitch formation when working with leather, synthetic leather, or dense fabrics.

Needle Point – DI (Diamond Point)

The DI (Diamond Point) needle creates a rhombic incision that runs in the seam direction. Its four cutting edges provide smoother fabric entry and minimal resistance, making it ideal for leather and other hard materials. This point shape produces a straight, recessed seam similar to a narrow cross point “S” but with greater cutting efficiency — perfect for upholstery, footwear, belts, saddlery, and leather goods manufacturing.

Heavy-Duty Precision by Schmetz

The Schmetz 135x16 DIA needle is engineered for durability and performance. Its chrome-plated coating reduces friction, prevents overheating, and extends the needle’s life — ensuring consistent results on even the toughest materials.
