Description
The Reliable 8100DT is a direct-drive industrial drapery tacker built to secure pleats in light through heavy drapery materials up to 3/4 inch thick. Programmable speed and selectable 8-, 16-, or 32-stitch cycles deliver repeatable tack patterns, while the heavy-duty clamp and automatic thread trimmer streamline production.
Who It’s For
- Drapery workrooms producing pleated panels and window treatments
- Upholstery and soft-goods shops that need compact, repeatable tacks in layered fabric
- Production teams that want programmable stitch counts and direct-drive control
Why It Stands Out
- Heavy-duty drapery clamp handles tack thicknesses up to 3/4 inch
- Select 8, 16, or 32 stitches per cycle
- Programmable direct-drive speed and torque
- Built-in automatic thread trimmer and solenoid foot lift
- Delivered as a complete, assembled, tested, and sewn-off workstation
