Highlead GC188 Series Industrial Sewing Machines with Assembled Table and Motor
High Speed Single Needle Lockstitch Sewing Machine
This series high speed lockstitch machine uses a link type feeding mechanism, link thread take up and rotating hook to form clean, crisp stitches. Bevel gears that drive the arm shaft and hook in combination with the dial operated stitch regulator make it easy to adjust and maintain the desired stitch length regardless of speed or stitching direction. The different available subclasses allow for a wide range of different materials to be sewn without difficulty.
