It comes with a nice thick plastic plate with a faceplate attached. It has a 4” square hole in the front to glue a square block on your blank to drive it. I didn’t like that so I cut a piece of corian to fit and put a finish nail through the center to hold a piece of 1/4” plywood. The plywood keeps me from cutting into the black disc. You also get a tool rest with 45, 50, 55 and 60 degree slots to guide the parting tool. The parting tool is 1/16” with a small 3/32” piece attached to the top. The pot piece has a small flute in it and the whole thing is only 1/2” tall.
