A shear/brake/roller is a standard sheet metal tool, but a 60" throat would be exceptional. Lay two pipes on the ground, center the material and press a third pipe down on the line of the bend. It would act as a brake but without the sharp angle.

Compound curve is another matter. Either heat or explosive forming would be necessary.
