Yes I am. At least I hope.
Do we know the ID on this tube (with the hole)? I've searched the threads in IDs, but they've been heavily edited now.
Yes, it is a known part, and in the thread, one has only to read!
Its from a "gateway" kit too, so very easy to find, but again, the info is in my build thread!

Funny enough, it was a PM from a friend, lol! It's totally one of those parts you can look at directly and not "see" it until the stars align.
I did check your thread, and around page two or three you guys reference the part, but everything's been edited and there are contradictions in the 40 pages, it's a little frustrating for the reader. But thank you, yes, for the positive valuable contributions you make to the studio scale forum. Working together, we all make this a better hobby!

So when you want to add a mount, and don't want to use a Panavise, a gas pipe is a good solution. It not only offers strength, but is an easy conduit for wires and power cords. For the smaller models, the now-antiquated 1/4" pipe is perfect. 30 years ago, it was easily obtained (and was used primarily in gas light fixtures), but now a days, is really hard to source unless you want to get it delivered (for a small fortune) or have an old mom and pop shop that has old stock. I have just that kind of shop available, and the owner was thrilled to sell me most of his remaining stock. He even cut and threaded it for free, and did a much better job than a kid would have at Home Depot. Try asking a Home Depot or Lowes for this stuff - they just stare blankly and say "we got 3/4" - is that it?
So anyway - 1/4" gas pipe - PERFECT for this model. Cast resin fits like it was designed for the fittings.
Here's the store - I wouldn't be surprised to find a Balance Pipe or Viscount Reading Light in those aisles, lol!
