Highlead GC20618-1CXHeavy Duty Walking Foot Sewing Machine Upgraded model adding thicker thread stitching capability | |
 | |
The GC20618-1CX is an upgraded model, derived from the time served Highlead GC20618 series, adding the ability to stitch with thread sizes up-to metric size 10. Its thick thread handling capability is useful for decorative stand-out stitching and stitching with extra mechanical strength. Double the maximum usable thread thickness when compared with other models in its class. The CX model is designed for users who work with thicker threads, specifically metric sizes 15, 18, 20 (V138), and 25's, with the added capacity to handle up to size 10's including 12 & 13's. If you primarily stitch with thread sizes 30's or lower, the standard non-CX model is the alternative choice. Conventionally thicker thread sizes, for example 10, 12, 13 & 15's, would be used to stitch extra heavy items that required an expensive, and often difficult to use, extra heavy model. The Highlead GC20618-1CX, in comparison, now allows the use of these thicker threads in a sewing machine manufactured to stitch medium-heavy weight materials. It features a heavy duty triple feeding action by way of: bottom feed, needle feed and walking foot top feed. These three different feeding components combine together to give a positive feed action which is well-matched with heavy or bulky material & fabrics. It is fitted with the more advanced large vertical axis hook assembly & drive transmission: which usually perform better than the standard & cheaper horizontal axis hook type set-up. | |
| The machine is smooth running, durable, versatile and its robust construction includes: needle roller bearings for the arm & hook shaft etc., cog driven belt assemblies and more importantly an automatic oil lubrication system is fitted, which reduces wear & tear considerably. A stitch length of up-to 10mm is available for functional and decorative stitching, plus the presser foot has a high clearance of up-to 16mm. A safety clutch is fitted to help prevent damage to the hook, bevel gears and other important parts, should the machine become jammed or over-loaded. The Highlead GC20618-1CX is a well designed and robust special purpose needle feed, walking foot sewing machine for sewing with thicker threads on medium to heavy weight materials such as: leather, vinyl, coated fabrics, canvas, webbing and upholstery materials etc. It is suited to sewing, for example, car seats, general upholstery and leather articles, belts, canvas, tents, awnings, handbags, outdoor wear, straps & camping goods etc. | |
