where I need to put a compression fitting. So, I got the Dremel, plus
the P3 mask, so I didn't inhale the lead.

Can you get lead poisoning that way?

It produces loads of tiny particles of lead, so I'm guessing yes.

I was thinking you might be grinding (heavy partials) rather than
sanding (flying dust) but you are right, you don't really want to be
breathing it in, *even* if it is only 50% lead (rather than lead-free,
tin-antimony and tin-silver etc).
