Turning between centers supports small diameters. It takes the tool pressure off the stock. Turing with a chuck would be ideal if you can do it without breaking the piece off while turning.

If you remove the piece from the lathe you will have a hard time getting it to turn concentric again on a second set up. Try to get it all done before you remove the piece.
