...but more annoying to machine, and slightly less durable.
To be honest the wall thickness is excessive, even if you're looking to use this at 1000 psi 21-25mm diameter would be more than enough.

Still overkill but better safe than sorry.

The loom is inside a silk mill so I consider everything I do there to be milling, whether sitting at the loom or using the ladies' room
*knock knock*
"Are you still milling in there Gladys?"
*strain*
"Yeeeeesssss"

This isn't actually a part, but I do have a question about machining.
wikipedia says that for a 1/4" pipe size, the OD of the pipe needs to be 0.54". If my pipe is 0.59" OD, will I still be able to externally thread it or will I need to sand it down?
I could also do pipe size 1/8" (I'd rather do 1/4"), for that it's supposed to be 0.405" and I can get 0.39". Would that work better?

.05" of a difference, you should be ok. Use a good cutting lube. What kind of thread cutter are you using? A die would be the most trouble with the size difference.

I'm actually hoping not to thread it myself, there's a place Fastenal right near my dance studio that I'm hoping will be able to thread it for me (though it would be nice to do it myself, I don't have the equipment to do it i think...)
If a die would be the most trouble, what other ways are there? Is there a way I can thread it with the tools I have at home? (Standard stuff)

Google pipe threaders, manual and power. A metal lathe can also be used, but takes set up time to do it right.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing, but those are really expensive...

You never mentioned your budget...did you? Hardware stores and or a plumber, any place that works with or installs pipe should have a threader to do the job. Can't say what they charge you but shouldn't be much. What kind of shop is Fastenal?

Very true

The signs on the outside say it's a machine shop, so I assumed it would be able to thread pipe. If they can't, there's a Home Depot close by too.

Home Chepot's have pipe threaders around my way, your local store should have it as well. The machine shop will charge you set up time...
