Cutting points

Narrow cross point "S" or "N CR"

This cutting point causes a lenticular incision in your material. The incision follows the direction of the seam. The result is a very straight seam.

Narrow wedge point "P" or "NW", "PCL" and "PCR"

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.

Reverse twist point "LR" or "R TW"

With this cutting point you achieve a lenticular incision. This is done at a 45° angle to the seam direction. The result is a decorative seam inclined slightly towards the left.

Wide reverse twist point "LBR"

You can use this cutting point if you want to make a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction and beyond the diameter of the needle. The result is a raised, decorative seam inclined towards the left.

Twist point "LL" or "TW" and "LLCR"

When using this point shape, you achieve a lenticular incision with a 135° angle to the seam direction. The result is a slightly recessed, straight seam.

Diamond point "DI" or "DIA"

If you are using the "DI" point, you will obtain a rhombic incision. The centered incision is made in the seam direction. The seam appearance corresponds to that of the narrow cross point "S", however, the four cutting edges of the "DI" point allow easier penetration of heavy, hard materials. The result is a very straight, recessed seam.

Reverse twist spear point "VR" or "R TW SP"

The incision angle of this cutting point with rhombic incision is 45° to the seam direction. The result is a seam slightly inclined to the left. It has a better cutting effect than the comparable reverse twist point "LR".

Round point with small triangular tip "SD1" or "TRI TIP"

This round point with a very small triangular incision cuts approx. 10 % of the stitch hole, 90 % is displaced by the conical round point "R". The result is a straight seam and a tidy seam appearance. The incision is smaller than with a cutting point.

Half triangular point "DH"

This cutting point achieves a triangular incision that is smaller than that of the "D" point. This creates a straight seam.

Triangular point "D" or "TRI"

With this cutting point you achieve a triangular incision. The result is a straight seam.
