About this machine
The JUKI LS-1342-7 is the automatic-thread-trimmer model in the LS-1340 series. It combines the small-article gauge and 1.6-fold-capacity vertical-axis hook with a 2,500-stitch-per-minute rating, standard automatic reverse feed and the -7 thread-trimming system.
The -7 suffix changes the machine
JUKI documents the LS-1342-7 with automatic thread trimming and standard automatic reverse feed. Those are not safe family-level assumptions for the plain LS-1342.
Designed around curved and tubular work
The small-article gauge and cylinder-bed layout are documented for bags, leather cases and other curved or tubular pieces. JUKI specifically emphasizes sharp-curve capability for the LS-1342 variants.
