It is more so the “operator” than the machine that determines the “tight enough tolerances” IMHO.Nicely done! Hopefully it still has tight enough tolerances to be useful.
A less than perfect lathe beats lathe-less any day of the week.

Lathe looks really Good! Looks like a reverse repulsion motor. GREAT! Do you have change gears? On my old SB9 JR., I thought about putting a sewing machine motor, (variable speed), on the tailstock end of the lead screw for power feed. Don‘t have gears for that one, just like it’s robust build over my SB9 UMD w/ QCGB.
