New-Tech GC-8B  

is a specialized cylinder-bed sewing machine designed for maneuvering around curved edges and tubular shapes. Featuring a compound feed (triple feed) mechanism, it ensures the needle, feed dog, and presser foot move in unison to provide powerful traction on thick leathers and heavy synthetics. Its narrow-diameter cylinder arm is essential for professional leathercraft, allowing for precision stitching on bags, hats, and footwear where a standard flatbed machine is restricted. 

  • Small Diameter Cylinder Arm: The narrow bed design allows for easy rotation and sewing of 3D objects, tubular pieces, and tight curves. 
  • Compound Feed (Walking Foot): Prevents material layers from shifting by using a triple-action feeding system, ensuring consistent stitch length on slippery or heavy-duty materials. 
  • Large Vertical-Axis Hook: Equipped with a high-capacity hook to accommodate thicker threads and reduce the frequency of bobbin changes. 
  • Adjustable Speed Servo Motor: The included electronic motor offers silent operation and precise speed control, allowing for delicate detail work or high-speed production. 
  • Simplified Tension Adjustment: Dual-tension controls allow for fine-tuning based on thread weight and material thickness for a perfectly balanced stitch. 
  • Heavy-Duty Build: Designed for continuous industrial use with high-quality bearings and a cast-iron frame to minimize vibration. 
  • Max. Sewing Speed: 2,000 – 2,500 Stitches per Minute (SPM) 
  • Max. Stitch Length: 6.0mm 
  • Needle Bar Stroke: 36mm 
  • Cylinder Diameter: 65mm 
  • Presser Foot Lift: 9mm (Hand) / 14mm (Knee) 
  • Needle System: DPx17 (135x17) #18 to #24 
  • Thread Sizes: Up to #138 (V138 / Bonded Nylon) 
  • Lubrication: Manual (With oil wick system for hook) 
  • Motor Type: 550W High-Torque Servo Motor (110V) 

The GC-8B is the industry standard for sewing "shaped" or tubular goods, including: 

  • Bags & Accessories: Attaching gussets to handbags, backpacks, and leather briefcases. 
  • Footwear: Repairing and manufacturing shoes and boots. 
  • Headwear: Precision stitching on hats and structured caps. 
  • Specialty Gear: Holsters, knife sheaths, sports equipment, and small leather goods.

JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs

What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?

The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.

Where does the machine oil go?

A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.

What kind of oil does this machine require?

You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.

What size table can I get with this machine?

Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.

Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?

No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A SERVO MOTOR

THE ADVANTAGES OF A SERVO MOTOR
