Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) Size 120 (NM 120 / Size 19) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) industrial sewing machine needles are specially designed for leather, vinyl, and heavy-duty materials, offering precision, durability, and a clean stitch finish. Compatible with DPx16 D systems, these chrome-coated industrial needles provide smooth performance and excellent seam appearance, even on tough materials.

Needle Point – D (Triangular Point)

The D (Triangular Point) features a sharp, three-edged cutting tip that forms a triangular incision, resulting in a straight, professional-looking seam. This geometry allows the needle to slice cleanly through leather and coated fabrics, ensuring consistent seam strength without tearing or damaging the material surface.

Perfect for leather upholstery, saddlery, footwear, belts, and automotive interiors, this point type delivers strong, straight stitches and exceptional accuracy in every application.

Manufactured with Schmetz German precision, the 135x16 TRI (D) features a chrome coating that reduces friction, minimises heat build-up, and extends needle life during high-speed operation.
