Not the exact one I'm using now but similar. Puts my TC tip about 1/2" from bottom and side of pot. Hole is drilled oversized so the thing can be moved around with the fluxing spoon. Maybe I'm...

FWIW, when my old PACT BBK gave up the ghost, my Cabelas points got me a Frankford Arsenal DS750 for around $20. They have a deal on their site today you might want to check out. Mine seems stable...

Years ago I removed the threads on mine with an old rasp or something. Drop the measure in and use a die lock ring on the bottom side. Problem solved and it doesn't move around on me.
