As mentioned above you are comparing different types of machines. For clarification, here are the differences between the 2750 and 4800:

• The 4800 is a self-oiling (automatic lubrication) machine, while the 2750 is manually oiled.

I heard that self oiling pump is not effective for slow speed sewing ?

On some machines that would be true but for certain not with this model. Slow or fast the oil feed is happening. The 4800 has a square drive feed that means you have a more reliable consistent stitch length when going over thick and thin sections.

Where is that "like" button?

Thank you so much for that additional info ! Also can you talk a bit more about your needle plate if I would to buy a 441 clone ?

There really isn't much to say except if you have a 441 then consider it a must-have.

For most stuff I make I need the narrow needle plate set and if you got a fair bit of time to spare for reading this post will show and tell why -

While you are there if you check the video and have a look at my other videos on my channel you can see also a few on a Cowboy CB6900 which I believe the Cowboy people over that side of the pond call a Cowboy 1341 or the Techsew people call a 4800. This is just one of the few -

Note I think it is a great machine for wallets and bags but it would not be my personal choice for heavy duty knife pouch and holster work.
