That wheel just happened to be a perfect holder, so we didn't have to use our hands to keep the rod from whipping around.
This reminds me of a funny story from my first year in FIRST(2000) We asked a student to cut us a length of all-thread. He put the 8' length of all-thread in the lathe with one foot sticking out of the chuck. He was going to use a hacksaw to cut off the piece. He turns on the lathe and suddenly realizes where the other 6 feet of all-thread is. Luckily no one was hurt it just scared the student.
