I’ve got lots of other more important things to do but I have no machinists jacks yet.
I made one this morning. I consider it heavy duty.
1” - 14 threads. Has a travel of 1 3/4”.
2 1/4” cold rolled stock.
I enjoyed it.F4EAC433-E186-4F18-A679-412FE4D59745.jpeg4AE1B824-686C-40F9-86F5-530752172B87.jpeg
 
Dang, I thought at first you made a machine adjustable feet...

Definitely extra heavy duty...

Nicely done
 
Nice simple form to it. I'll probably copy that when I get around to making some for myself.
 
Two makes sense, but it does not show well in the pics. I was thinking you may have come up with some fancy spanner style wrench for adjusting.
 
That's not quick and dirty, That's purty. This is quick and dirty. A 2" disk cut from 1/4" plate, a 1-1/2" length of 1"Sch. 40 black pipe, a 3/4-10 nut and 1a 3/4-10 x 2" hex head bolt. Weld the first three parts together and screw part number 4 into the assembly.

RJ,
Yours works just as good as mine (wink)
Actually, yours has a fine thread which would be more useful as a machinists jack. I used what I had at hand at the time and truthfully, it has served its purpose.
