    I guess I'm not understanding your "set for each chuck".

    Since you turn a new point on the center each time you mount it in the chuck, only one is really needed. The dogs only transmit rotation to the workpiece so they can be used with any chuck.

    Perhaps a photo of the lathe dogs mounted would help clear it up for those of us with less imagination... Otherwise, I think you have some humdingers there!

    Perhaps you can puzzle it out from this photo of a more conventional lathe dog in use...
