Rapidex 320 Knitting Machine

Rapidex 160 is a single bed machine, and the Rapidex 320 is a double bed machine. It is possible to buy two 160s to make a double machine, or to separate the needle beds of the 320 to make it into a full length single bed machine. This produces fabric up to 60" wide. With the addition of some extra parts it is possible to work the double machine as two separate single machines. The types of stitch produced on the 160 are more limited.  Original Price of this machine - Rapidex 160 £27 10s, Rapidex 320 £53 10s to include 3 or 6 hours tuition.
