I am looking to build a press similar to the happy monkey i beam press. I have come across some W10x30 beams and was wondering if these would be strong enough to do a 92" span without central supports. I did some calculations and calculated the deflection to about 0.009" but was wondering if someone could double check my work? thanks in advance

You'll need to provide the web and flange thickness.
