The long bed 301 table insert is longer. I have several of this 314 model, a FW table, a longbed 301 table.
Actually, the info on ISMACS is very incomplete.There is a much more comprehensive list of the tables with pics done by Wes Taylor in the files of the Vintage Singer Library, an off shoot of the Vintage Singer Yahoo group. I'm hesitant to post it here but you can look it up. The table models are listed as such:
table models 308 and 312 are for FWs
table model 311 is for 99s and 128s
table model 313 is for 99s
table model 314 is for 301 longbeds
table model 315 is for 301 shortbeds - the modifications needed to make a 401 or 500 fit this table result in the machine sitting too low in the table so that the bobbin slide plate will scratch the table when opened.
table model 316 is for 401s - a 301 shortbed will fit, sits a little low but will work
and finally, they show a pic of an undetermined model # table that fits a 500 in the case base.
