Hi.
My mini CNC router never really had any sort of dust/chip collection. I added something simple and it worked surprisingly well, but with the machine having moved to my basement, I decided I need something better.
So I have a concept for a dust shoe but the concept requires that a piece of polycarbonate tubing with a 1" O.D. slide easily inside another polycarbonate tube with a 1" I.D.
Think of a piston and cylinder and in my case both are pieces of polycarbonate tubing, I need the smaller 1" O.D. tube (piston) to move freely within the larger tube with 1" I.D. (cylinder).
I'm not sure if tubing is sized this? I suspect if I order the two pieces that the smaller piece won't fit inside the larger piece or if it does it will be quite tight.
Any ideas if the smaller tube will slide easily within the larger?
