The AK-1H Long Pile 40mm Tufting Gun
Deep, plush, dramatic. The AK-1H reaches a full 40 mm pile. The long, luxurious shag you can’t get from a standard gun, and without the cost and hassle of an air compressor.

Built for high pile
Where the AK-V tufts at 14 mm and the AK-1N runs 8–16 mm, the AK-1H reaches a full 40 mm — opening up texture, depth, and dimension that flat-pile rugs simply can’t touch.
- 40 mm long pile without an air compressor deep shag results, plug-and-play
- Wheel protection ring for steadier, more reliable tufting
- Redesigned mechanics for smoother operation
- Cut and loop in one — switch styles in seconds (see video)
For experienced tufters ready to go bigger
The AK-1H is a stronger, heavier machine built for ambitious texture work. We recommend it for makers who already have tufting experience. New to tufting? Start with the AK-1N — it’s the easier, lighter machine to learn on.

Cut pile and loop pile
Ships ready to tuft 40 mm cut pile straight out of the box, and converts to loop pile when you want a different texture.
Variable speed
Tufting guns run fast, but detail work needs a slower hand. The speed dial at the base of the handle lets you ease off for precise areas and open up for filling large fields.
