Should be fine with that. Just play a bit and see what works. One tip, try and square your spindle to the vice, don't spend hours getting it as precise as humanly possible, just 2 minutes with a dual gauge to get it there or there abouts as it will shift out of alignment anyway within about 30 seconds. I do it before every job I want to look half decent. But if you've been jogging into things it's likely to have got knocked well off and that's an invitation for bad chatter.

Also make sure your spindle, collets and nut are squeaky clean for your finishing tools, and if your collet is old and been bashed about, get a new one. They're only tuppence on eBay.
