I want to make a square-to-circle transition. I have studied up on the layout and generated a half-scale stretchout drawing. It is visible here:

I can lay this out on sheet metal. I may even be able to cut the outline. I have friends with sheet metal brakes. However, looking at all the bend lines, I am intimidated! If I managed to bend along each bend line just the right amount, the inner edges would form a 4" circle and the outer edges would form an 8.5" square.
But how to know how far to bend?
