It is not possible to run different kinds of basic weaves with the help of Tappet Shedding similar to that of Shuttle loom. Mainly there are two reasons clarifying this ‘NO’: (1) Not possible to accommodate more than 4 heald frames with Shuttle loom type Tappet Shedding. Where as many of weaves and combination of weaves need 5 or 6 or 7 heald frames at least. (2) This kind of traditional Tappet Shedding have fixed cam shedding mechanism, means there is fixed drive / fixed rotation ratio to Tappet motion from loom and hence not possible to run different kind of basic weaves. For making fabric of many weaves and combination of weaves, one must have weaving machine equipped with separate cam shedding mechanism in which weavers can achieve different basic weaves by just replacing concerned cams.   http://www.dynamiclooms.com/faq-page/
