SCHMETZ 794/7X3/DYX3 SIZE 230/26 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 7X3 Size 230 (NM 230 / Size 26) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 7X3 Size 230 industrial sewing machine needles are designed for extra heavy-duty applications, delivering strength, stability, and precision when sewing thick materials such as canvas, leather, upholstery, and denim. Manufactured by Schmetz Germany, these needles ensure smooth, reliable performance in industrial lockstitch sewing machines.

Needle Point – STANDARD (Normal Round Point)

The Standard Round Point (R Point) has a slim, conical shape, designed to pierce heavy fabrics cleanly without damaging fibres. This allows for consistent, strong stitch formation while maintaining material integrity. Ideal for heavy textile production, upholstery, and leatherwork.

Built for Heavy-Duty Performance

Featuring a 2.5 mm reinforced shank and 67.8 mm overall length, the Schmetz 7X3 Size 230 offers excellent needle rigidity, reducing deflection and preventing needle breakage at high speeds. Its chrome coating minimises friction and heat, ensuring long-lasting durability and consistent stitch quality — even under continuous, demanding use.
