I bought a Lee Production Pot IV 10lb unit. This pot does not have a flow control adjustment on it. So I made a setup so I can limit the travel of the arm. It seems to work pretty good.

I am also using the the center part of a Bic wide body pen as a kake kutter. I am casting 9x18 and 9x19 rounds. It is not perfect but it works for me.

Pics included.

I made a similar adjuster a few years ago. It really helps with consistency. I'll try to get a picture of mine when I get home.

OK I'm home. Crappy cell phone pics, but you'll get the idea. I used a window shade bracket I had laying around the scrap hardware bin. Added a press nut in the hole that the window shade pin would sit in. You could do the same thing with a jam nut on either side of the bracket, but it would be harder to adjust. The nut on top is just a metric thread that I jammed in place to give something to turn and make adjustment easier.

Nice. It is a lot smaller than mine. It makes things more uniform when pouring.
