My older Babylock was a 4 thread model with differential feed, 4 thread overlock, 2 thread stitches and chain stitch and did a straight seam beside the serged seam but it did not have the type of stitch capability of other model Babylock sergers made at the same time. I feel when using a serger that importance in ease of use comes into play and a Babylock just a few years newer would be a lot easier to use and have differential feed and some models would give the capability of more stitches. The tension type is 'multiple' revolution and does not have a numbered dial. My older Babylock took the DCX1F needle and I believe the 605 uses BLx2N needles and does not have a stitch width adjustment and the stitch length adjustment is done by push button. Older Babylocks used different types of needles that are industrial type round shank rather hard to insert properly. Stitches include 4 thread safety, 2 thread over edge, 2 thread double chain, 2 thread flatlock and 2 thread blindhem. I'm not familiar with your model but I do have a book that tells the features of many of the older Babylock models and from what I gather the 605 does not have a light where the 625 model does. I think a model even slightly newer will be easier to use and have a few more features that you would enjoy. I used to sell them and owned one but after the time of the EA-605 model.
