Achieves long pile of 30mm and 45mm.

The AK-DUO Custom model is a specially designed tufting gun that has been adjusted to be able to drive longer piles than the regular AK-DUO.
This popular model is a 2-in-1 type that allows you to switch between cut and loop, expanding the range of expression.
When combined with a regular tufting gun, it enhances the three-dimensional feel of your work .
It is also ideal for those who want to try their hand at creating works with depth .


Compatibility with yarn (important)
Depending on the material, twist and thickness of the yarn used, tufting guns may experience problems such as "not being able to cut", "yarn jamming" or "yarn skipping".

Before shipping, we test the product using our own tufting yarn to ensure it works properly.
Therefore, if you experience problems such as "not being able to weave properly, not being able to cut, or the back side being unstable" when using yarn other than those sold by our store ,
Please note that this is not considered a defect in the gun itself and is not eligible for return, exchange, or free adjustment .
If you have any concerns about choosing yarn, please feel free to contact us before purchasing. 
What is a tufting gun?

Operation sounds and vibrations
The AK-DUO custom model has a special specification with a longer needle stroke than the standard model, so the operation noise and vibrations are felt to be louder.
