high power actuators

I like the speed 900 with threaded rod on it idea

I cant find it now but i've seen a drill powered featherweight crusher.
Was great force from that drill motor, went through 8 or 10mm polycarbonate with ease etc.
You can get good power depending of course on what quality motor.

would be interesting to see if these claims are real, if so, then i might have a few ideas to make one

It all depends on gearratio and quality/shape of the treaded rod.

The higher the gearratio, the more torque is available, and the better the tread the better all works together. (trapezium tread with brass nut is the best between cost and useability. A normal tread and nut is cheapest, but the least efficient and easely damaged.)
