When checking and correcting rod straightness, I use two bars against each other in the rod vice. Since the vice isn’t mounted to the cabinet strong enough for most correction work, this allows you to use it. I feel the two bars gives me a better feel for how much I’m correcting, as I’m not fighting the vice flexing. I prefer this to putting the rod vice in a bench vice.
