What do you need to get started in wood turning?
Goto LECN to know more.
You simply need something that will spin wood. A small beginner's lathe is a great option, you don't need a big, heavy duty lathe to get started. Another option is to make your own lathe using a drill or a drill press if you're feeling adventurous.

Mainly the capacity. If you want to turn larger pieces, then a larger lathe is needed. Smaller desktop lathes for example can only turn about 10 inches in diameter, whereas larger lathes can turn up to 24 inch bowls for example.
The bed length is another difference. Larger lathes have longer bed lengths, however many smaller lathes also come with extensions if you want to turn a baseball bat for example.
A larger lathe will also be more sturdy and can handle more substantial pieces of wood without shaking or become unstable. However, if you anchor your lathe properly, and make sure to use reasonably sized pieces of wood, then you won't have much of an issue, no matter what size lathe you've got.
