The machine itself is accurate for my uses, but then it is different to different people. Upon measuring a slight wobble on the blade, it turned out to be the arbor, it was 0.35mm overall, which when I mentioned to Axminster, they said the allowable manufacturer's tolerance is up to 0.5mm for the arbor. This means when I make a cut, the cut width of the blade is 0.35mm wider than the blade kerf width. Which is okay for me - whether it is okay for others or not is up to them to decide.
The fence adjustment is a bit frustrating at first as the adjustment screws are countersunk so when you do adjust it, the countersink pulls it back to the original misalignment. But if you dismantle the fence assembly (very easy) you will find four more socket head screws on the locking end of the fence. I adjusted these and since then I have had no issues. Plus now I use a featherboard to put pressure sideways towards the fence (from top view, it is from left to right) and I get very accurate cuts. Failing theat I use two puch stick technique and my cuts have been very consistent.
As per the measurements on the scale, they are accurate, but I haven't bothered setting them up properly as I have gotten into the habit of measuring from the blade for my projects.
One thing I do say is to make a throat plate (zero insert or otherwise) out of something stable and not use the factory supplied cast aluminium plate. It warps like molten plastic.
But once you get through these issues, it is very good saw. It is quiet, has a small footprint, easy to use and plenty powerful for most uses that non-professionals can throw at it.
