A woodturner is a woodworker who makes one, or both, of two things: vessels or spindles. Vessels can be bowls, dishes, submarine propeller shaft bearings (they used to be made from a wood called Lignum Vitae, a strong, heavy, oily wood that lasted longer in the ocean than any metal did) and other useful items. Spindles can be porch columns, stair rail parts, Baseball bats...

What are the differences between the new lathe and the old lathe?

I'd have to see the two lathes to tell you, but there are four main reasons a turner replaces his lathe: the new one vibrates less, the new one is larger either in length or in the diameter of the piece it can turn, the new one has a bigger motor, or the new one runs at a slower speed than the old one. You're asking yourself "wouldn't you want a faster lathe?" No! A turner wants a lathe that has lots of power at slow speeds because it's safer to make the initial cuts on a piece at a really slow speed, and the slower speed will let you make turn larger pieces.
