I have no idea what kind of power print press motors are capable of, honestly. I had a chance at a 7HP 240V AC motor, but the thing was like 250lbs easily. All cast iron construction, must have been put together in the early 40's LOL.
Oh - I see you changed your post... I wondered if it was really something to think about or not...
