people have built them with mixed results. the programming is apparently the most difficult part.

You're not going to find a commercial off-the-shelf CNC edge bender. This is a DIY project, and there are lots of reasons its not easy. If you are a large ski company producing many sets of the same edge, the investment makes sense - even then you either have to build your own machine, or contract with someone to build you a custom. There is no market for a commercial CNC ski edge bender.

If you are a home-builder? It makes zero sense. Get yourself a set of tile nippers and modify them (you'll find pictures on the forum if you do some searching). It's a few dollars, and you get as good of results as you would with a CNC, it just takes a long time.
