Narrow wedge point "P" or "NW"
By using this cutting point, you create a lenticular incision that is made at right angles to the seam direction. The result is a seam with high strength. Needles with the narrow wedge point "PCL" have a left twist groove below the eye for hooks positioned to the right of the needle. Accordingly, "PCR" has a right twist groove below the eye for hooks positioned to the left of the needle. It is particularly useful as the lefthand needle on the twin needle lockstitch machine.
Applications / Highlights:
- Suitable for all types of leather
- Footwear
- Bags, suitcases, accessories
- Car seats
- The twist ensures that, when the needle emerges from the material being sewn, the thread is protected in the twist groove and is thus not drawn over the edge of the groove and eye or over the cutting edge and not damaged.
