Cut and Loop pile
The AK-1N does both cut and loop pile.
It comes ready as Cut pile out of the box at 15 mm pile height. And can be adjusted between 8-16 mm. Where older tufting guns used to have to be dismantled in a time-consuming way to switch modes, the AK-1N can be altered fast and simple. All it takes is removing one screw and replacing the cut or loop element. – see video.
It is by far the easiest it has ever been. Maintenance is simple, brush off dust and keep moving parts properly lubed with sewing oil. Variable speed
Tufting guns move insanely fast, but sometimes you want to slow down to focus on small details of your rug. The AK-1N Pink has a dial at the bottom of the handle where you can easily change the tufting speed.
Variable pile lengths
Our tufting machine supports tufting at different pile lenghts from 8 to 16 millimeter. Although it is possible to change the length, we strongly recommend to only adjust the pile height when you have become familiar with the workings of the machine as several parts need to be precisely adjusted. – see video.
Lightweight Pink Edition
Another reason why the new AK-1N series is popular is its weight. At just 1.4 kilos, it is the lightest tuft gun available. Perfect if you want to tuft an entire day without sore arms. This new edition also has a new look, replacing the traditional blue for bright pink.

Authentic tufting machines with warranty
Counterfeit tufting machines pose a risk as they are often made with inferior materials and poor workmanship. These machines can break easily, fail to operate correctly, and even pose a safety hazard. In addition, counterfeit machines lack the warranties and customer support that come with genuine tufting machines. Tufting Europe proudly offers warranty on all our machines, free returns and we are just a click away if you have any questions.
Safety first
Tufting machines are professional power-tools, with a needle and scissors moving at high speeds. Please use your tufting gun responsibly and keep it out of reach from children. Also unplug the tufting machine from the power when you make adjustments to it.
