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.

I believe I have invented the best way, but I was wondering if there
was a "proper" way that a perfectionist engineer might use.


You just puts nuts on it, and clamp the nuts. You need enough clamping
force to slightly deform the nuts, so they grip the rod and stop it from
turning as you saw.
