Hi Bill:

The lathe dog is for turning between centers, the most repeatable clamping on a lathe.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around the need for the lathe dog, doesn't the chuck do a good enough job holding the stock?

The next question that comes to mind is the tooling, should I buy new tooling. It came with a lot but I don't know the condition any of it is in. I might take a picture of just the tooling and get some help of what I have and the use of each type of tool.
