I have a Lee Classic turret press with the original wood ball handle on the press arm. The ball now falls off. It is a taper fit with no fastener. Has anyone successfully re-secured the ball to the press arm? How? The only thing I could think of was gorilla glue.
a little help with my balls

G-glue should work, or may want to look at a replacement arm if you want to try something different like a roller one.

I'd imagine JB weld would do the trick.

Do not put gorilla glue on your balls !!

Well, before you slather your balls up with G-Glue you should rough them up with a Dremel or sandpaper to increase the hold potential.
Can you thread the rod?

Nice balls
Gorilla Glue will expand and try to push the ball away from the arm or could crack it if you clamp it on.
I used either Acraglas or JB Weld on one back about 1985 and it is still stuck hard. Probably Acraglas, but JB should do as well.
File or dremel a few lines into the handle to give the epoxy a place to form a mechanical hold and rough the inside of the ball or dremel holes or gouges for the same. Like roughing the inside of a stock when glassing a rifle.

One of the few times that JB Weld and anything firearm related, actually works well.
...he said "balls".
Was Mr. Schweddy consulted?
Mr. Schweddy balls you mean?? Why I don't know...
And someone said rod. There was a slather in there too.

Be sure you use the correct thread to match the ball you want to put on. Nothing worse than having a right hand rod and a left hand ball.

It works well for bedding scope mounts also.
