SCHMETZ 29-S SUK/1985 SUK/175X1 SUK/TQX1 SUK SIZE 80/12 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X1 SUK Size 80 (NM 80 / Size 12) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X1 SUK Size 80 industrial sewing machine needles are ideal for button sewing machines and applications involving stretch, knitted, or medium-weight fabrics. Featuring the SUK (Medium Ball Point), these needles gently separate fabric threads instead of piercing them, reducing the risk of skipped stitches, fabric runs, or damage during sewing.

Needle Point – SUK (Medium Ball Point)

The SUK Medium Ball Point offers a rounder tip than the lighter SES point, providing smooth penetration through soft, elastic, or loosely woven fabrics. It’s perfectly suited for materials like jersey, lycra, polyester blends, interlock, and medium knits, ensuring consistent, high-quality stitch formation without fraying or tearing.

Precision and Durability

Manufactured from premium German steel and coated with industrial-grade chrome, Schmetz needles deliver long-lasting reliability in high-speed and continuous-use environments. The polished surface minimizes heat and friction, ensuring longer needle life and cleaner stitching results.
