Are there any wire SWG to OD conversion formulae progs around, or even
the basic equation and I'll get my calculator out? Thanks!

here's one from googling 'wire gauge chart'

As far as I know there is no simple conversion formula.
Wire and sheet gauges, for the most part, are based on things like length
per given weight or sometimes just a sequential numbering of holes in a draw
plate.

It seems confusing now, but probably made perfect sense when the standards
developed.

This is the formula for AWG:

diameter = 0.0050*(92)^((36-AWG)/39)
