Schmetz 135x16 NW (P) Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 NW (P) industrial sewing machine needles are built for leather, vinyl, and other dense materials, providing exceptional seam strength and smooth performance. These chrome-coated needles are compatible with DPx16 needle systems and come in a pack of 10, ideal for professional upholstery, saddlery, and leatherworking applications.

Needle Point – P (Narrow Wedge Point)

The P (Narrow Wedge Point) forms a lenticular incision at right angles to the seam direction, resulting in a strong, straight seam with high durability. This unique cutting geometry allows the needle to penetrate heavy, hard materials such as leather and coated fabrics with minimal resistance, producing neat, consistent stitches without tearing or distortion.

Variants such as PCL (left groove) and PCR (right groove) versions are available for twin-needle lockstitch machines with specific hook positions, making this needle type versatile for a range of industrial setups.
