Hi all, been lurking on here for a little while but signed up today.

I'm just getting getting in to woodworking, and by getting in to it I mean literally just starting out. I've made a few bits and pieces before but never anything special.

So this has brought me to buying a cheap second hand table saw (my first ever table saw!). The Workzone WZTS2000 which was from Aldi. I know it's nowhere near as good as more expensive makes/models but it's all I could afford right now and I thought it would be a good way to try a table saw before splashing out on a more expensive one in the future.

I've ensured the blade is 90 degrees and the table is level. I've measured from the mitre track to both the front and rear of the blade whilst it's at full height (measured using the same tooth) and the rear is out about 1mm more than the front.

I've watched multiple YouTube videos to see how to align and it looks pretty easy, but my saw has a big fixed blue case all around the top half and access is tricky. I'm also not sure what bolts I need to loosen to align the blade. Below are a few photos of the bottom, any guidance/advice as to how I align the blade would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot guys.

Being cheap it might not actually have adjustment, or its a case of fannying about witht he fence.
Theres a thread here ,which i've not read, but its the only info i can find.
Given the product number, im guessing its the same saw.

Thanks for the response. From a quick Google they don't appear to be the same saw but I'll check it out and see if it correlates to mine in some way.
 
I have tried the way the Scheppach TS-2000 is aligned and it doesn't work on my saw, the removal of the handwheel doesn't allow any access as the blue outer casing is still there. Do I need to loosen the two bolts in the white casing in photos 6, 7 and 8 of my opening post? If so I have no idea how to get there as access is very limited.
 
One of the suggestions in Triton's link (above) is to leave the blade alone and move the table until it aligns with the blade. Is that a possibility in this case?
