    The term you are looking for is box ways. Also there are different
    configurations of linear guide ways also. The most accurate are
    glass scales, but would be considered overkill for the desk top
    application. I would not expect to find a table top mill with glass
    scales, but it was worthy of a mention.

    Yes they do. In the form of an Aluminium plate or shim, adjusted by
    set screws. At least the ones that I have taken apart did :-) 

Best Regards.
