I been working on a collect system to fit a mini bead lathe. I have the concept built it may or may not work can't test it. I used brass fitting from lowes and a local hardware store. the end that connects to the lathe was an 1/4 barb to 1/4 npt (can't find 1/8 barb to male 1/4 npt). these is where the problem is, first one I tried, I drilled off center (thanks to a worn out cheap drill press). the second, I cut the barb off flush with the face. logic was it would a centered hole. nope....
measured, from .002 to .100 off center.
