JUKI is confident that its newly launched DSC Series is provided with all the essentials needed for the sewing of heavy materials.     DSC-245-7   Consistent seam quality. The unison-feed provides the optimal feed efficiency by feeding heavy materials smoothly and firmly.     Excellent for sewing sharp curves. The diameter of the cylinder is as small as 46mm for a standard hook or 50mm for a double-capacity hook. The small-diameter cylinder is quite helpful for handling bags, shoes, and other small articles smoothly and easily.       When using the knee lifter, the lift of the presser foot is as high as 15mm (Machine without a thread trimmer). For the machine provided with a thread trimmer, the lift of the presser foot is as high as 13mm, allowing the operator to handle the material with ease.   The horizontal feed is best-suited for attaching of piping tape (V type). The feed mechanism that can synchronize the binder in the piping-tape attachment process in the sewing of shoes. (Parts to be changed are optionally available.)       DSC-245 The machine is equipped with a new automatic hook-lubricating system that automatically lubricates the hook. With this feature, a maintenance-free hook has finally materialized.   DSC-246 The hook accommodates thread twice as long as that for a standard hook. It also reduces the frequency of bobbin thread replacement, thereby enabling the operator to smoothly conduct sewing with a higher degree of efficiency.
