I just went and loked at that set of tools... It should be ok to start with, but you will probably end up changing a few of them to different grinds.
Find yourself a slow speed grinder. You will need it to sharpen your tools. They will come out of the box needing ground right off the bat. Look on craigslist and such for one... If you can't find slow speed, high speed will work, just go slower so the tools dont overheat while grinding.
Not the best chuck in the world, but super cheap and might work out ok...

If it were me, I would probably look at a pen mandrel first. WIth a mandrel, you can do all the kit stuff you were doing here... You will need a drill chuck to do pendants... Remember you can make a pendant backer plate, and if all else fails, you could even use the faceplate you have now... Just attach a hunk of wood, turn it round and face it, then turn it into a backer. Use the double sided duck tape from wally world... cheap, easy to get, and it works!
