I'm in the process of building a Morgan Handmill Conversion spreadsheet in excel that will convert hex tapers to penta or quad, display taper settings for the mill, provide guide spacing information (limited), calculate ferrule sizes, and provide final section lengths for cutting that account for the appropriate ferrule size and brand. I have the information I need for Super Z ferrules from my shop and have built a "custom option" for the user to enter their own information, however, I was wondering if anyone knows the slide lengths for CSE or Rush River ferrules. If I recall correctly, the RR ferrules are somewhat truncated, and I don't know about the CSE ferrules. I thought it would be interesting to just add the slide lengths to the file so that the final section cutting lengths could be determined automatically by selecting the type of ferrule being used. If anyone has the info, I would appreciate it if you could share it.
I will be sharing the file with anyone interested when it is finished. I'm trying to make it a more robust version than the one Tom provided to users, or the one that was shared by Chris Carlin years ago.

By the way, while this isn't finished it is a preliminary view of what the format looks like. It is missing the option for swelled butt settings, and some of the station references aren't finalized. Other than that, I've got the conversions worked out so I'm getting closer.
