no.
the tubes are never straight.
the interference fits are never known until it's "let's-go" time.
the heat cycle wrt expanding and contracting is never "exact".
you need to work though all the possible deviation and evaluate
your net results. only then can you adapt a predictable, repeatable
system that works with your skill set, tooling, and material choices.
