It's geared about 3.5:1 . The motor isn't original its marked 1725 rpm, so rough math puts the blade speed at 400-500 sfpm , I think it was last used as a meat saw. I plan on setting up a better stand and a jackshaft setup to gear it down for metal work.

Found a bandsaw, needs a little work . But it was free.

It ain't a mopar if it doesn't whine on deceleration. Try a normal rotation drill bit about half the bolt size first, try to get it centered. If that fails go to the welding a nut ontop of the broken bolt. Drilling and re tapping is a last resort, really easy to drill off center and wreck the...

I do that too, and I always seem to have a pocket full of them.

The real secret to those welds.

What do you use to make the dimples?

I fabricate for a living , factory machinery and fixtures mostly. If I can roll something into a better position to weld I will, just trying to do the best job I can. Welding in position is an important skill to learn , but don't be ashamed to roll your work to a position you are comfortable with.
