The Chambord AccuKnitter 400 CSM is a precision circular sock knitting machine rooted in historic engineering and carried forward through thoughtful, hands‑on craftsmanship. Approved and quality-assured by the original creators, Dave Lord and Kathy Chapdelaine, each CSM machine reflects a deep respect for the lineage it represents. It is not a mass‑produced tool - it is a long‑term companion for serious makers.
Each Chambord AccuKnitter 400 CSM is made to order, with your choice of powder‑coat color and a personalized brass plate inscription, making every machine truly one of a kind. We kept the manufacturing process the same: hand-lathed, milled, polished, and assembled at our shop which was setup to Dave's specs and mimics his own workshop in Canada.
