LWX6T Needle Size #2/60 Fits: Tony CM-500/512 H-140| H-101 5PK
The LWx6T (also known as the 29-49, 29-BL, or 2140TP) is a curved industrial needle system specifically designed for blindstitch (blind hem) machines. It is one of the most widely used systems for both portable and full-sized industrial hemming equipment.
Key Technical Specifications
The "T" in LWx6T often refers to the specific taper or point geometry designed to "catch" fabric layers precisely without penetrating the face of the material.
- Needle Shape: Curved. The curvature is essential to the swinging motion of the needle bar in blindstitch machines.
- Shank Design: Features a flat shank, which ensures the needle is always installed at the correct angle for the looper to catch the thread.
- Equivalent Systems: 29-34, 29-49, 29-BL, 2140TP, SY7395, and CANU 43:45CC.
- Point Styles:
- RS / Sharp Round Point: The standard for woven fabrics like suit trousers and skirts.
- Ball Point (BP): Recommended for knitted or stretchy fabrics to prevent snags and "bird-eye" holes.
Machine Compatibility
The LWx6T is a highly versatile system used in a vast array of professional tailoring and alteration machines.
- Portable Models: The standard needle for the Consew 75T, Rex 607, and Reliable MSK-588.
- Industrial Brands: Fits many models from Brother (CM3-B933), Yamato (CM-352), Union Special (37500), and Lewis
