I gave my ST1200HD a good lube, and it helped a little, but it still took a few minutes for it to get up to speed with a film running.
So I took the back off, plugged it in, and noticed that the belt connected to the motor pulley was flopping a bit. It's a wonder that this machine ever got up to the correct speed.
I replaced the belt, and now it runs at speed from the get-go.
I agree that a good lube is always a good idea, though, to keep the machine running at its best.
