Juki DSC 245 cylinder arm machine

Recommended Posts

I am wondering what the capabilities of this machine are. I make leather bags and am wondering if it is capable of #92 thread.

The way I see the specs it is rated for V33 to V69 yet it is capable of accepting up to a size 21 needle which is good for V92. To use V92 thread according to specs you need to go up to a DSC-246.

If I did use #92 would it start to wear down the machine? Thanks!

Will it wear it out? Maybe in a production environment, sewing a min of 8 hours a day for weeks on end. These machines are tough. You could probably push the tuning to 92 thread, but then it may not handle smaller threads very well.  It might wear YOU out with frustration trying to sew on a machine where it's pushed to it's max with no headroom. If your minimum thread is 92, then this machine will always be at max capacity. If you mostly use 69 or smaller, and occasionally do 92, it might be ok. I would look for something with a little more capacity.
