Dürkopp Adler 918

For medium to heavy-duty applications

The machine class 918 is a highly precise zigzag sewing machine designed for medium to heavy-duty applications such as leather, tents or sails. With up to 10 mm stitch width, a powerful feed system and a large hook for longer sewing cycles, it ensures perfect, wrinkle-free seams — even over thick or multi-layered materials. Quiet, low-vibration running, fresh oil hook lubrication, optimised needle bar motion and the S3 control panel deliver precise, user-friendly performance.

Available in ECO, ECO X and Classic equipment variants. U-versions offer a mechanical switch from single to 4- or 6-stitch zigzag, each switchable to standard zigzag mode.
