The Highlead GC24628-1 is a twin needle
post-bed heavy duty compound feed lockstitch machine
which features a selectable split needle bar.
The post-bed design is very useful when sewing
shaped items or panels etc. and is used when you need to sew into shaped
items which can not be done on a standard flat-bed machine.
The 178mm high slim post bed gives you greater
access and control when sewing decorative (top stitching) & functional stitching on items
like leather upholstery panels, shoe uppers, car seat upholstery etc.
The special split needle bar is particularly
useful when sewing corners or tight angular stitching and allows the operator, at
the flick of a lever, to disengage one of the needle bars; so the machine
can sew with one needle. You can select to disengage or re-engage the left
or right needle depending on the type of corner or angular stitching you are doing.
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 a semi-automatic oil lubrication system
with sump is fitted which reduces wear & tear
considerably.
As well as the Post bed shape & split needle bar design, It features a heavy duty triple feeding action by way of:
bottom feed, needle feed and walking foot top feed and is fitted with two large vertically mounted hook & bases for use with medium to heavy weight
materials.
A safety clutch is fitted to help prevent damage to
the hooks, bevel gears and other important parts, should the machine become
jammed or over-loaded.
