The vacuum tube is thin, light, and VERY tough. I'm thinking about making future sabers out of the same material. The only problem is that it's a pain in the butt to cut and drill.

Don't waste your money buying sink tubing for bending. It's chrome plated brass and doesn't bend all that well with that plating (at least in my experiments).Originally Posted by DarthSkummelavsky
To answer your question though, the vacuum hose tube will be considerably tougher than the sink tubing, but also harder to machine.
My mother used to have a Rainbow vacuum cleaner. I believe the curved handle piece is stainless steel. That would explain why it's harder to machine than aluminum.
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

Rainbow wands are MUCH tougher than sinktubes.
I just did the magnet test on mine and can confirm yes it IS steel which indeed does explain why it is harder machining it than aluminum hilt parts, but on the upside should be durable.
