Hello I was wondering if you know if the 5320 can be used for woodworking
or is it just a metal lathe

Any metalworking lathe can be used to turn wood. Some don't have high
enough spindle speed to do it properly, so you get some tearing of the
surface.

You do need to protect the ways from the wood dust, as some woods can be
corrosive.
