I've searched around but can't find the answer. CSUSA no longer has the Imperial on the site that I can see so I can't look for part numbers.

Any help would be appreciated.

All my pen turning stuff is in storage but I do have some completed pens to go by and the answer is NO, they are not the same.

I can't give you inside tube diameters but the emperor is a larger diameter pen, both cap and lower body so I can only assume the inner tube diameter differs a good bit.

The caps appear to be about the same length but the lower body of the emperor is substantially longer, probably close to 1/4" since the imperial has the longer bottom trim piece.

Long story short....... nothing even close!

The Imperial and the Lotus tubes are the same diameters, though different lengths. The Emperor, as others have already noted, is completely different. if you are needing replacement tubes for the Imperial, I believe I still have a few sets.

What a wonderful gift to the pen turners. Thank you Wayne Racinowski for all your and others efforts on this project.
