AK-DUO Cut & Loop Pile Tufting Gun (Hand Sewing Machine for Rugs)

A versatile tufting gun that can produce two different effects with one machine

The AK-DUO is a "2-in-1" tufting gun that can create both cut pile and loop pile .

It is chosen not only by beginners but also by those who want to expand the scope of their creative work.

What is a tufting gun?

This is an electric tool that allows you to weave yarn into fabric and create rugs with any design you like, just like painting a picture.

As the official distributor of the AK series in Japan, RUGMATAG provides domestic inspection, warranty, and support .

We carefully deliver each unit so that you can use it with confidence from the day it arrives.

Main features of AK-DUO

Two types of expression are possible: cut and loop: Freely express textures with just one unit.

Safety guard : Prevents yarn and hair from getting caught, allowing you to work safely. Pre-tuned model optimized for dedicated yarn : This model is pre-tuned to fit the yarn sold by RUGMATAG. You can use it comfortably right after receiving it.

Quality control through double inspection : Dedicated staff check each unit in Japan to ensure consistent quality.

90-day warranty + LINE consultation support : Even first-time users can feel at ease. Feel free to contact us about any problems you may have after purchasing or how to use the product.

Recommended for:

- I want to use both cut and loop at a good cost.

・I want to create a soft loop effect

・I'm looking for a support system that even beginners can feel at ease with.

What if you're unsure?(AK-1/AK-2/AK-DUO selection)

If you want to master cut or loop → AK-1・AK-2

Dedicated machines are superior in terms of smoothness and quietness of operation, and are suitable for those who want to "master a specific expression."

If you want to express both at a good cost → AK-DUO

This is recommended for those who are unsure how to express themselves, or for those who want to start by creating a wide range of effects using just one unit.
