Rotating the joint scales the object down

[Haykuhi97]

Hey! Completely new to rigging and I ran into this problem. I'm trying to make a simple rig for scissors. After painting the weights when I try to rotate the joint on Y axis it also scales it down on X and Z axes.  Every scale and rotation is set to 0.

It looks like you have weighted value on the root. Flood the value of the two child joints. When you rotate the children joint you want the whole top of the scissors to move. The same goes with the bottom.

It worked. Thanks a lot!
