Octado is available in three weaving widths:70cm, 90cm and 110 cm (27 ¾" 35 ¾" and 43 ¼") along-
eight harness. 
The way in which the Octado dobby loom craft is created is unique. Although the driven shafts are only pulled in one direction, you still make the trade of a counter-march thanks to the upwardly moving bow. Moreover, the bow moves in such a way that the tension on the warp does not increase during the jump. The wide pedal opens the so-called progressive section where the shafts, ascending towards the back, make a greater deflection. On no other loom with so many shafts can you make a big jump so easily.
Easy Treadling:
The Octado (and Megado) both feature a countermarch shed. This is accomplished by raising the back beam and moving it forward at the same time as the shafts are being raised. the beam movement also compensates for changes in warp tension as the shed is made. An innovative construction ensures the action of the well balanced treadle to be very light in operation. This main treadle and also the optional weaving bench are adjustable in height to accommodate the weaver's physical requirements.
Of course, the Octado and Megado looms also have the Louet floating breast beam, just like the spring & Delta Looms. This unique warp tension control system allows the weaver to set and check the warp tension each time the warp is advanced. These innovative design features give our Octado and Megado looms an indisputable afvantage over other competitive looms. No other multi harness loom treadles and light and reates as large as shed, even with a very high tension on the warp.
The Octado is Light to Operate:
The tension of the warp does not play a role. The treadle is adjustable in height and can therefore be adapted to the wishes of the weaver.
Just like Delta and Spring, Octado is also equipped with the famous Louet compensation device with which you can set and ccontrol the desired tension on the warp. The loom has a warp beam that is equipped with a friction foot brake so that you can raise the beam while sitting on the loom while weaving. These features in combination with thte larg counter-marching compartment, give the Octado an undisputed advantage over other looms. The pedals for making the jump and operating the mechanical dobby are height adjustable.
Crafted from lacquered beech hardwood, the most complex castle section comes pre-assembled including a built in raddle and shelf, 40-10 (10dpi) stainless steel reed, 600/800/1200 texsolv heddles (330mm), lease and tie up sticks and 16 warp sticks. you can choose between a mechanical dobby or electronic interface giving you flexibility in your weaving.
 
The Electronic Dobby allows the weaver to control pattern selection with a computer. The Louet Dobby 2.0 system is currently available only for the Megado.
