This tufting machine is a game-changer, offering a versatile range of pile heights and a surprisingly lightweight design. It's a dream come true for crafters looking to explore a variety of tufting styles.
Despite its ability to create really fluffy results, this tufting machine is surprisingly simple and compact. Once you get past the initial setup, it's a breeze to use, making it perfect for crafters of all levels.
As a Mechatronics engineer, I give the people who engineered this machine a giant thumbs up! I highly recommend it as an investment if you can manage it. I would even say it's suitable for a beginner as long as you understand machinery or are willing to put a bit of time into understanding the pneumatic system before rushing in to use the gun!
My website now has some videos showing how to change from loop to cut pile and vice versa and how to change the pile height.
Please note you will need an air compressor for this machine.
Air compressor requirements:
- 40L or more
- 200l/min flow rate *this is really really important!*
- Consistent pressure at 120psi of 8 bar - ideally, you need a compressor capable of 10 bar so that you consistently get 8 bar to your machine
Because the machine comes with a 3/8" aro. Male fitting, you will need a 3/8" female aro fitting
You will need a brass bps female reducer 3/8" to 1/4" to attach it to a 1/4" hose. (I got mine at RS Components.)
Please see our videos for a complete guide to this machine!
