Does this help? It does not seem to be too expensive https://www.collegeengineering.co.uk/pro...o-d-x-20g/
A 1” OD x 16g tube has a wall thickness of 0.065” and a tube ID of 0.870”
It appears to be available in a maximum length of 24 inches - but sections could easily be spigoted together with a solid piece turned down to suit.
If you have a drill, why not fit a cheap and nasty compound table and used it as a milling machine? Working in steel would be very tricky and require great patience and tiny cuts as the cutter will try to work its way out of the chuck (unless you've a Morse taper drill and can fit a collet chuck). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175219513799?...BMluCAweRj
