Schmetz Overlock Needles EL705

Description

Discover the premium ELx705 CF Overlock Needle from SCHMETZ – engineered for precision, reliability and high-speed performance on your combination overlocker and cover-stitch machine. This specialist needle system features a flat shank and the distinctive ELx705 geometry with a second thread groove, optimised for chain-loop stitches typical of overlock, cover-stitch and safety-seam operations.

The “CF” designation stands for Chrome Finish, meaning the needle shaft is chrome-coated for improved wear resistance, enhanced glide through fabric and reduced heat build-up – a significant benefit when running advanced machines at higher speeds. Available in sizes NM 65/9, NM 80/12 and NM 90/14, it covers fine to medium-weight fabrics and heavier knits.

Why choose the ELx705 CF?

• Ideal for use on combination overlockers and cover-stitch machines from the Baby Lock range (and beyond) where the machine manual calls for ELx705, ELx705 CF, ELx705 CR or SY 2022

• The second groove supports chain-stitch formation with lower thread tension for clean, consistent results

• Universal slightly-rounded point enables high performance across a broad spectrum of fabrics – from chiffon and organza to wool blends, fleece and jersey knits.

• Chrome finish and reinforced blade minimise needle deflection and breakage, helping maintain straight, accurate stitching even at speed
