SCHMETZ 2018 SES/175X3 SES/TQX3 SES SIZE 70/10 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X3 SES Size 70 (NM 70 / Size 10) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 SES Size 70 industrial sewing machine needles are designed for button sewing and lockstitch applications where precision and fabric care are essential. Featuring the SES (Light Ball Point), these needles are ideal for knitted and woven fabrics, ensuring smooth stitching without damaging or cutting fabric fibres.

Needle Point – SES (Light Ball Point)

The SES light ball point is engineered to displace fabric threads rather than pierce them, reducing the risk of laddering, skipped stitches, or fabric damage. This makes it ideal for delicate to medium-weight materials, providing clean and durable stitch formation on garments, knitwear, and fine fabrics.

High-Quality Industrial Performance

Manufactured by Schmetz Germany, a trusted name in needle technology, these needles feature a chrome-coated surface for improved wear resistance, reduced friction, and longer service life. The precision-ground shank and tip ensure stable, accurate stitching even at high machine speeds.
