Abstract

A tufting tool (20) is provided. The tufting tool can be adapted to be used in a tufting machine. The tufting tool is formed by a first material (22). The tufting tool comprises an insert of a second material (24), where the second material is harder than the first material. The insert is formed by a cavity in the first material filled with the second, melted, material filling said cavity. Hereby a tufting tool with an insert can be made in a robust and efficient manner.
