All depends on how you use them, if care is taken for the loss of rigidity over a vertical they are just as accurate. Don't expect to hog like a vf4, but they do a good job. The biggest thing is they need to be level and checked more frequently. I can easily hold .001 over half the length of the table.
How accurate are these machines compared to a machining center?
