The AK DUO tufting gun

The AK DUO Tufting Gun combines the two main tufting techniques in a single machine: Cut Pile and Loop Pile. Switch from a soft, plush finish to a more textured loop finish to suit your creations.

Versatile, it’s suitable for beginners looking to explore both techniques, as well as more experienced users who want to vary their textures and creations.

Why choose the AK DUO?

With the AK DUO, you can switch from Cut Pile, for a soft, plush finish, to Loop Pile, which preserves the yarn loops for a more textured, raised result.

You can also use both techniques on the same rug. This lets you combine Cut Pile and Loop Pile to play with textures, create contrasts, and make certain parts of your design stand out.

If you’re a beginner and still unsure which technique to choose, the AK DUO lets you try both and discover which one you prefer, while giving you the option to combine them in your creations.

For tufters who want to focus exclusively on Cut, the AK-I CUT or the AK-V CUT are more specialized alternatives. Compare all the models in our range of tufting guns or read our guide to choosing a tufting gun.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AK DUO tufting gun suitable for beginners?

Yes. The AK DUO is suitable for beginners and lets you explore Cut Pile and Loop Pile with a single machine. It’s also handy if you’re just starting out and aren’t sure yet which technique you’ll prefer.

What is the difference between cut pile and loop pile?

In Cut Pile, the machine cuts the yarn to form soft, dense pile.
In Loop Pile, the yarn is not cut and remains in loops, creating a more textured finish.

How do you switch from Cut Pile to Loop Pile with the AK DUO?

The AK DUO can be set to operate in Cut Pile or Loop Pile mode. Our French-language documentation explains how to switch between the two modes and make the necessary adjustments.

Can Cut and Loop be mixed on the same rug?

Yes. You can make some parts of your design in Cut Pile and keep others in Loop Pile. This creates textural differences and gives your rug more dimension.

Which mode should I choose to get started?

The Cut Pile is often appreciated for its soft, dense finish. You can also trim and sculpt it once your rug is finished.
The Loop Pile creates a more textured looped finish. With the AK DUO, you can try both techniques and choose the one you prefer.

Which yarn should I use with the AK DUO?

The AK DUO can be used with various yarns suitable for tufting. For your creations, you can use our acrylic yarn or New Zealand wool, available in a range of colors.

Are spare parts available?

Yes. We offer replacement parts compatible with the AK DUO to replace worn parts and keep your machine in good condition over time.

What is the warranty on the AK DUO Tufting Gun?

The AK DUO is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of parts, accidental breakage, or damage caused by improper use of the machine.

What do I need to get started with tufting?

In addition to your tufting gun, you’ll need a tufting frame, primary fabric, a threading tool, yarn, and glue. A trimmer will then let you even out the pile and finish your Cut Pile creations.
