Hard to imagine a feather part that could not be cut with a hacksaw.

Does the sciccor jack screw directly Into the drill motor?

Probably not reliably.
But that makes roboteers inventive.

The scissor jack wont screw onto a drill motor without some sort of adaption - the simplest thing I can think of is to keep the chuck for the drill motor, put the jack all the way in and tighten the chuck, then drill a hole all the way through and put a bolt or pin (or similar) through the setup to prevent the scissor jack thread from turning independantly of the motor.

EDIT: Wow, just realised the forum clock is at the right time now

Thats a really good idea.Thanks!

Depending on what material the scissor jack is made of, it might be difficult or tedious (or both!) to drill all the way through it. If so, another idea might be to only drill through the chuck until you hit the jack, thread the drilled hole to take a bolt, and tighten the bolt to press against the scissor jack thread. It wouldnt 100% guarantee the jack from turning independantly but it would give maybe 80-90% resistance, which hopefully would mean that unless the jack got jammed and the drill still tried to turn, it should be effective to keep the drill and jack rotating together.

Another lifter Idea is a four bar lifter . They might be a bit difficult to build but it would be a quite effective lifter.

As some people know i am building a feather with a pneumatic axe.I was just wondering do you need a speed controller for your weapon?

Thanks.
