Howdy All.
I'd like to make some probe shafts for my height gage which are 15mm diameter hollow (presumably for less gravity sag). I've searched and can find no source for ready-made stock. I'd like to avoid the expense of making it. I don't need much...say 1 meter at most. The finished parts will be 150mm long. Wall is not important 2, 3, 4mm all fine...
The important part is that it be precision OD, straight, and preferably at least a little hard.
There are linear rail hollow shafts but 15mm does not seem to be a standard.
Any ideas where to find some material?
Many thanks!
