Has anybody tried using 7/16 tubes in a Gatsby kit?
I ask because I had two... altercations when turning for Gatsby twist pens (one chip out and one partial insertion). I know that PSI and others sell the replacements, but neither Rockler nor Woodcraft do and I have a slight problem paying more for shipping than I pay for 5 packs of replacement tubes. The Gatsby tube is 27/64, so the closest size would be 7/16. I can get 7/16 brass tubing delivered with free shipping next day and cut my own.
My question is will it make a noticeable difference in the hardware/tube matchup?
TIA for your experience and insight.
