Default Metal lathe

Hello, I got a metal hammer from Northern Tool a week or so ago. Once I get the 60 gallon air compressor next month, I will finally have a change to try the thing out.

I found I enjoy working with metal. I was looking at a metal lathe on grizzly. They have one that is from $5-$600. Is it any good? I have a lack of space. My mom will be putting the air compressor in her shed. Haha. I just want a metal lathe, that will allow me to get an idea of how they work.

Also, I got two metal working magazines. Free copies. I realized they were for pros. Haha. But, I found a site that sold metal for a lathe. The metal had lead in it. I watched a documentary a few years ago, about people who used led and died from it. Awful to see the poor women. Do I have to use stuff with lead in it?
