'Samson' - Long Arm Machine

Catalog (pdf)

From canvas to woven poly to heavy gauge vinyl, the Samson is the ideal machine for seaming operations on tents, awning, pool covers, truck tarps, boat tarps, banners, etc. After all, efficient handling of heavyweight materials is what the Union Special 38299C24 was designed for; that's why it's named the Samson.

A unique drive enables the 40" long sewing arm to sew through up to a half-inch of some types of materials, without losing power or speed. This wide under arm space eliminates the effort and time needed to fold and roll wide sections of material during seaming operations.
