SCHMETZ DPx5 SKL, 135x5 SKL industrial sewing machine needles for very heavy knits, 10 pcs

DPx5 SKL, 135x5 SKL are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles for very coarse knits and stretch materials. The extra-wide, rounded SKL ball point helps push large knit loops and elastic threads aside, reducing the risk of damage.

SKL needle point features

SKL (Special Ball Point) is an extra-wide, very rounded ball point. Its design is intended to push material threads aside as much as possible, minimizing damage to knit loops and elastomer threads.

SKL is especially suitable for very coarse knits and highly elastic materials with elastane threads.

Suitable materials

• Very coarse knits with large loops.
• Medium-coarse and coarse stretch materials with covered elastomer threads.
• Highly elastic knits with elastane.
• Knits that require substantial thread displacement.

Compatibility and needle selection

These needles are intended for industrial sewing machines that use the corresponding needle system. Before ordering, check the system against your sewing machine manual and choose an NM size suited to the material and thread.

Recommendation: If the material is coarse but not highly elastic, compare SKL with SKF or SUK. The right point type depends on the loop size, elasticity, and material structure.
