SCHMETZ 135x16 TRI, DPx16 D industrial sewing machine needles for leather, 10 pcs

135x16 TRI, DPx16 D are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles with a D-type triangular cutting point, designed for sewing hard, dry leather. The pronounced cutting action helps the needle penetrate stiff material and form a straight seam.

D Cutting Point Features

D (Triangular Point) is a triangular cutting point with three cutting edges. SCHMETZ describes this point type as one of the most pronounced in terms of cutting action.

The triangular point makes it easier to pierce hard leather and helps create a straight stitch line. Since it leaves a pronounced cut in the material, the needle size and stitch length should be selected to suit the properties of the leather.

Suitable Materials and Applications

• Hard, dry genuine leather.

Compatibility and Needle Selection

These needles are designed for industrial sewing machines whose technical documentation specifies system 135x16 TRI or DPx16 D. Before purchasing, check that the system is compatible and choose an NM size suitable for the material.
