Highlead GC20698-1

The GC20698-1 is Highlead's industrial long arm lockstitch flatbed walking foot sewing machine.

The long sewing machine arm allows up to 635mm clearance to the right of the needle, which is approximately two and a half times the clearance of a standard arm machine.

The solid long arm is factory cast and offers greater strength & stability when compared to a cut and piece extended arm.

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.

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 GC20698-1 is a long arm, needle feed, walking foot machine, for use on medium to heavy weight materials and is aimed at job applications where a standard arm sewing machine is not suitable.
