Glad you got yours all freed up and running good. Tri-Flow oil is your friend to keep these machines happy.

Dunno, I can only guess.
I assume yours is cleaned and lubricated so that's probably not it.
So maybe:
Previous usuage?
Motor age?
Belt condition?
Production variances?
Could be nearly anything.
All I know if that it is faster than the 328, probably faster than the 319W too.
The needle is damned near invisible at full speed and even though it is the heaviest of the three machines it will slowly "walk" across the table if you hold it on full speed.
It's like a medival call to arms, but still dead smooth.
It's quite a little beast. At least, as far as my 4 machine "fleet" goes.
I sort of half planned for it to be my "leather" machine but it's turning out to be quite a nice machine overall.
At least as good as the 319W it seems on first look....
