Will it work with Mexican limes (smaller than a golf ball)?

Probable not. If they are that small you are likely better to use a lemon on lime press. This machine is best for oranges down to lemons.

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

Probably not, the base of the chair may not allow for a larger sized ball. the chair has adjustable legs.

It will work, but some shots will be tight. The ball return is kind of small.

This works great for fruits smaller than 3 inches in diameter, so definitely lemons and limes and smaller oranges. I originally purchased this for blood oranges, and it works great for those. Most oranges are going to be larger than 3 inches in diameter, though, and won't physically fit in this juicer without hanging out the sides.

I don't know exactly what a sweet gum ball is, but here is what I do know. It works fine on hard roundish things like pecans, from the smallest round ones to the longer 2 inch ones. It works fine on walnuts too so I think anything its okay for anything between those two. The coils are close together so I would expect it to pick up items as small as 3/8 inch in diameter but haven't tried that. I wouldn't want to try it on squishy fruits though it might work for hard crabapples. Hope this helps!

Sure it would work, but the ball will bounce off the rim at a different angle. We have a slanted drive and it does not pose a real problem, but I do plan on making a shim with plywood or cabinet shims to even it out.

It would work great on lemons I use it for limes which are probably the same size as a lemon or even a little bit smaller and it works great.

If I remember correctly, it is for a maximum 2 5/15" ball, according to the advertising. My guess is that it will, BUT I suggest you check the "Trimax" web site. I will say, I feel D*mn comfortable with it on. This is one piece of SERIOUS hardware! ANYTHING, can be defeated, but this thing is gonna need a "torch" or REALLY loud blows with a sledge... Good luck my friend!

Yes. It is a 4" diameter plate and the plate spins above the base, so even if your ball extends over the edges, it will not catch on the base while moving.

I have never used it for that particular purpose but I have used it for Lime, both powdered and granulated along with a variety of fertilizers and grass seed so my best guess is yes it would work for you.

I do not believe so. This is mainly used to zest fruit-limes , lemons , oranges

have not tried with smaller cards other than playing cards,but i think it would work with smaller than regular playing cards

I have used all different size limes and has worked wonderfully. I've never really measured them but I would say yes it's a great tool

It accomodates larger lemons pretty well. I've never used it to press an orange, but I imagine you could make it work by cutting the orange into wedges.

I don't think it would, mainly because of the inserts that go in to pump up whatever item you are wanting to fill. the tips are wide, and most balls need a narrow metal tip - almost like a bike pump. it depends on the diameter of the hole on the ball i guess.

I wouldn't put stones in it that are much larger than a golf ball or 1"x2". Anything larger would require extra tumbling time. It handles the smaller stones better. If you want to tumble stones that are larger, you might want to look for a tumbler that has a larger barrel.

No problem at all with Key limes. They are no different than regular limes except for their size Even the smaller size seeds are no problem.
