Turning between centers, the why.

Seems strange to make apprentice engineers take their fancy 3 jaw chucks off and use old style drive dog, the old methods are sometimes the best. Here is a quick demo showing how using centers and a drive dog can allow you to maintain concentricity in a part even if you have to take it out of the lathe.
