    Default Electric jack suitable for router lift or jack bench

    I just saw this electric scissor jack advertised on Aldi's web site. One might be suitable for making a router lift or a pair could be used to make a jack bench.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    Default Electric Jack.

    Hi WW,
    I go to the Geelong ( Vic. ) Sunday Markets most mornings, & there is a Chap there that sells a similar 1 like the Aldi 1.
    Not sure of the Price, but will check it out this coming Sunday.
    Regards,
    issatree.
    Have Lathe, Wood Travel.

    It would have some workshop uses but its $99. Most woodies will already have a cordless drill that could drive a jack. Old jacks can be scrounged up for very little.
    Must be one of those days where my Scottish instincts kick in.
    Regards
    John

    After looking mire carefully I tend to agree. I got so excited when I saw it that I didn't see the big red price. Also, if the motor breaks you have to reconfigure the jack mounting - I don't imagine that all these things are the same.

    Back to manual I think. Have to admit, cool idea tho
