I use a magnetic base dial indicator and a heavy iron vise.

The vice sits in the floor, and wont move easily since its 30 lbs.

I then stick the magnetic base to the vise and orient the indicator to the rotor.

In the photo, I am checking tire run out, because the car had a shimmy in the steering.

Tire was 1/4” out of round.

So, you get the idea ..
