SCHMETZ 794/7X3/DYX3 SIZE 280/28 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 7X3 Size 280 (NM 280 / Size 28) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 7X3 Size 280 industrial sewing machine needles are built for extreme heavy-duty sewing — ideal for penetrating very thick materials such as leather, canvas, webbing, upholstery, and heavy tarpaulin. Engineered with German precision, these needles deliver long-lasting durability and consistent performance across demanding industrial applications.

Needle Point – STANDARD (Normal Round Point)

The Standard Round Point (R Point) has a slim, conical tip that pierces through tough materials smoothly while maintaining seam strength and appearance. It’s the ideal choice for lockstitch sewing on dense fabrics and multilayer assemblies, providing clean seams and minimal fabric damage.

Built for Industrial Power and Longevity

With a 2.5 mm reinforced shank, chrome finish, and 67.8 mm overall length, the Schmetz 7X3 Size 280 offers outstanding strength and stability under the most demanding conditions. The chrome plating reduces friction and heat build-up, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth, reliable stitching on heavy materials.
