I turn a lot of green wood and it builds up on the blade and those would

steel guides which will scrape down the buildup.

For ordinary use the roller guides are great.

My Rikon bandsaw came with roller guides and I had the same problem with
wet wood. After I cleaned the blade, I sprayed it with one of the
products sold to spray cast iron tables - don't remember which one.

That almost completely eliminated the buildup. I worried that the
sprayed blade might slip on the wheels but that didn't happen.
