What is the recommended way to hold threaded galvanised steel rod in a
vise so that the thread is not damaged?
The rod needs to be cut with a hacksaw. Actually it will be cut in a
metal bandsaw, but it's the same question as the bandsaw also has a
vise.


Two pieces of wood to clamp it in the vice.


If I use the bandsaw and the wood comes loose, the bandsaw blade might
jam and break, at some considerable cost and inconvenience and danger.
