I would say that unless you have 2 people working it, you will never get that nice quality of work with a manual bead roller. I would presume that most high level bead roller work like that is done on a nice high end electric bead roller.
Check out some "using a bead roller" videos on you tube. I have a cheap bead roller like that and it has its place, but you can't expect that top level professional work out of it. I made my own cheesy tipping die out of a big washer since I couldn't find one to fit those eastwood rollers. It was kind of crude but man it really did work for tipping edges into curves.
