Wow, thats awesome.
So what about 3 rollers (bearings), two fixed, and one that slides. You have a big threaded rod attached to the slidey bit, that you can spin to adjust how close the moving roller is to the fixed ones. The closer it is, the tigher the bend.
basically exactly what they have in that video, but the position of the movable bearing is controlled by hand instead of a machine. It would take some fiddling to figure out the exact right position for a given radius of bend, but once you get that calibrated you should get very repeatable bends! Hmmmm, I might have to try this.

put the rollers into a lathe to match up to the edge thickness.

Isn't that the guy that stole dan's software, made some minor modifications, and is now selling it?
