Do you mean bottom guides at all or actual roller guides on the bottom as
well?
Most of the standard 14" taiwanese made models come with guide blocks rather
than roller guides on top and bottom.
They do come with ball bearing thrust guides top and bottom though. Usually
the guide blocks they come with as standard are rather ordinary.
I'd sugesst buying replacement guide blocks. There are several types on the
market, but the ceramic variety have worked well for me.
Can be hard to find. Rockler does sell them though, which is where I bought
mine - http://tinyurl.com/2fzec

Forgot to add that these may only fit the standard 14" taiwanese bandsaws
or Jet/Delta 14" model equivalents.
