How would you hold a steel rod down horizontally on a work surface?
I have a 8" long by 1/2" diameter steel rod. I want to fasten it horizontally to a metal surface. (the mounting surface has a line of holes through through it). The rod should not move because it will be getting gently pounded on or banged. The rod could rest directly on the base or be raised .25 to .375 inches It can only be fastened at the ends. The rod is NOT threaded. At first I considered an eye-bolt but the eye of the bolt won't hold the rod. But two eye bolts that had some sort of clamping mechanism might work. submitted by /u/NECESolarGuy [link] [comments]
