Re: What are "linear guides"?
Are you buying some DIY kit?
Linear guides are the part of a machinetool with any linear movement axis.
It's also possible that spelling checker mistakenly updated the initial idea intended to be "Linear encoders". These are optional normally.

Re: What are "linear guides"?
They may mean profile / square linear rails (which don't have a well defined name) like Hiwin / THK
Instead of the default round rails or round supported rails (SBR16 etc)7xCNC.com - CNC info for the minilathe (7x10, 7x12, 7x14, 7x16)
