Industrial Needle 88X1 / 88X9 / DAx1 / 1128 / 44X3 #80/12 for Sewing Machine
The 88X1 #80/12 industrial needle This is a replacement part designed for sewing machines that use the 88X1 needle system. This system may also be identified by other commercial part numbers, including 88X9, DAx1, and 1128. SCHMETZ officially confirms these designations within its 88X1 system and offers this system in the following sizes 80/12.
Furthermore, Groz-Beckert includes the following names within this same family: 1128 / 88X1 / 88X9 / 44X3, so the reference 44X3 is also important when looking for equivalents.
Given these different names, it is important to identify the needle by the the entire system, not just the 80/12 size. This reduces the risk of installing a needle that has the same gauge but different dimensions or mounting features.
88X1 needle system with #80/12 gauge
The size #80/12 It is a relatively fine needle within this family. SCHMETZ specifically markets the 88X1 system in size 80/12, along with other sizes such as 70/10, 75/11, 90/14, 100/16, and 110/18.
The gauge should be selected based on the material, thread, and the machine's recommendations. Therefore, before replacing a needle, it is advisable to check the currently installed needle size or consult the machine's technical specifications.
This 88X1 #80/12 industrial needle It can be an excellent option for applications that require a finer needle within the 88X1 system.
Equivalent system references
This product may be listed under different part numbers depending on the manufacturer or catalog:
- 88X1
- 88×9
- DAx1
- 1128
- 44X3
- Size: #80/12
SCHMETZ lists 1128, 88X1, 88X9, and DAx1 as part of the same system, while Groz-Beckert also uses 44X3 as an equivalent designation in its catalog.
This is especially useful for technicians, repair shops, and users who work with older or industrial machines, since the manual, the needle box, or the previous needle may list a different part number.
Ideal for maintenance and replacement
A worn, bent, or damaged needle can affect the quality of the stitching. It can also cause skipped stitches, broken thread, or difficulties during the sewing process.
For this reason, replacing the needle periodically helps ensure proper operation. It is also recommended to always use the correct system and verify that the gauge is appropriate for the type of work to be performed.
Before installing it, unplug the machine and check that the needle is in the correct position. Also, be sure to insert it all the way into the needle bar and tighten the clamping screw properly.
An easily identifiable and searchable reference
The advantage of listing all of its equivalents is that a customer can find the product even if they know only one of them. For example, someone might search for DAx1 #80/12, while another may have a box labeled as 88×9 o 1128.
The 88X1 #80/12 industrial needle It offers a practical solution for machines compatible with this system and allows the spare part to be correctly identified using various international part numbers.
Available in Orduz USA For customers, repair shops, technicians, and distributors looking for needles, replacement parts, and accessories for industrial sewing machines.
The 88X1 It is an industrial needle with a round shank. SCHMETZ officially confirms that the same system is identified as 88X1, 88X9, DAx1, and 1128. In addition, #80/12 means that the needle is NM 80 = Size 12; it refers to the needle's thickness, not anything else.
Machines on which it works
- Singer 400W1 – Use 88X1.
- Singer 400W4 – Use 88X1.
- Singer 400W106 – Use 88X1.
- Singer 400W107 – Use 88X1.
- Singer 600W1 – It uses 88X1 in sizes ranging from 7 to 21, so #80/12 is within the range.
- Singer 141W2 – The original Singer catalog lists 88X1 needles among its accessories.
- JUKI DDL-5550NA and DDL-5550NA-7 – JUKI officially states DA×1, which corresponds to the same system confirmed by SCHMETZ.
There are also numerous vintage Singer sewing machines from the families 63, 88, 95, 241, 251, 400W, 451, and 600W who used variations of this system, but I wouldn't say that all models in those families are compatible, because some subclasses use different needles.
There's another important detail regarding your title: 44X3 It is widely considered a commercial equivalent of 88X1, but the current official SCHMETZ product sheet I found explicitly confirms 1128 / 88X1 / 88X9 / DAx1 and it doesn't show 44X3. So, to ensure a successful sales listing, I would slightly modify the title:
Industrial Needle 88X1 / 88X9 / DAx1 / 1128 #80/12 for Singer, Juki, and Industrial Flatbed Sewing Machines
And I would leave 44X3 as an additional term on the labels or in the description while we finish verifying that equivalence with the manufacturer's catalog.
If you want to track searches by model, I actually like that even better:
Industrial Needle 88X1 DAx1 1128 #80/12 for Singer 95, 400W, 600W, and Juki DDL
That second title could be much stronger commercially, because customers usually look for the needle by machine model + part number.
