True, and you can get ground glass from many sources, cut to fit.

Now this is going to sound quite primitive, but being one who
has more time than money it works well for me - make your
own. I have fabricated more things than I can count from
cameras, to camera parts (including extension tubes), lens
adapters, motorcycle parts (indeed, complete motorcycles),
lamps - you name it. There is no shame in compromise, and
quite often you can make something as functional as store-bought
hardware. It may not pass the Fashion Police, but it works.

Making a KO tube should not be terribly difficult.
