All of these looms are marked as "email for a quote" as we order these looms in as required
The Megado is a low line loom which is easy to use and light to treadle
When looking to purchase a Megado loom, you buy a loom body and then a lifting mechanism.
The loom body
- is available as 40, 70, 90, 110 and 130 cm weaving widths
- is available as 16 or 32 shafts in each width.
- has a rising back beam which creates a shed similar to a countermarche loom
- has great warp tension, even when using inelastic yarn, because of its moving front beam
The lifting mechanism
- a mechanical dobby or
- an electronic dobby
The Megado with a Mechanical dobby + additional lags
- includes 60 program bars / lags with the initial purchase
- additional lags can be purchased with your order... (1 lag is needed for every pick of your pattern repeat)
- can be upgraded to an electronic dobby at a future date.
- you usually use one foot to move the dobby on one position and one foot to press the pedal down to raise the shed... 2 actions for each pick
The Megado with an Electronic Dobby + software for interface.
- is a dream to weave on- you can weave pattern as fast as you can weave plain weave.
- As you press the pedal down the shed opens. As the pedal rises the solenoids for the next shed are activated... one action for each pick
- you will need to upgrade your weaving software to include the loom drivers.
The computer and software pictured are not included with the Megado loom, they are provided by the purchaser.
Yes they are expensive, but look at it as just a few years fees at the local golf course, and imagine your equivalent enjoyment!!! They are great to use.
