Members brmax Posted March 31, 2017 Members Report Posted March 31, 2017 Heres a post with some great tips on that one, interesting there is two shank sizes they discuss a bit. Floyd http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/59564-needle-dimensions/ Quote
RockyAussie Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks Floyd, That post mostly covers what I was trying to work out.Unfortunately here in Australia the colour range in thread sizes drops right down when you get thicker than the 138/20m range and the 794 LR range of needles only goes down to the 160/23 needle range which is a bit big for that size thread. Also at that 794 length it is very flexy and more likely to miss stitches. I was hoping there might be a solution by going this way. Regards Brian Quote
Members Constabulary Posted April 1, 2017 Members Report Posted April 1, 2017 yes, thats the 45K needle. Total Length is 60 / 62 mm. Shaft top to needle eye is 52mm. But the shaft diameter varies Quote
