JUKI DDL-8700B-7 Direct Drive Sewing Machine

It is a value priced direct-drive, high-speed, lockstitch industrial sewing machine with an automatic thread trimmer and electronically controlled needle position motor.

In making this B model Juki used the established DDL-8700-7 model and adapted it by fitting a direct drive style motor system in place of the usual under bench motor.     

Updates on the DDL-8700B-7 model include a built-in LED needle light which illuminates the area around the sewing foot.  A newly designed control panel has been better integrated into the motor housing and now offers more automatic stitch control functions. The main on/off switch is fitted on top of the machine and allows for quicker and easier assembly on to its included unit stand and table top (In Europe a different and larger on/off switch may be mounted under the wooden table top).

By providing a presser foot with a higher lift of 13mm, a light-touch stitch dial, a throat plate with marker grooves
that can be used as guide for seam allowance and other easy-to-operate functions the burden on the
operator is lightened and productivity is further increased.
