The Standard Abrasives Deluxe Porting Kit is available from Summit and Competition Products, that I know of. It includes stones, mandrels, rolls, and cross buffs but no carbide bits. I came up a little short on the coarse rolls, found some locally to finish up.

After I was done, I found carbide burrs at Ace Hardware, of all places. Would have helped in the tight corners and saved some of those coarse rolls.
