>1/2 HP motor from an old garage door opener? Is it worth salvaging the motor for some use in the shop? Or should I just pitch it?

Ive got several with the above fixed to them dedicated for when I want to put em into service.
If those ideas dont appeal to you, save it for a garage sale and put 10 bucks on it.

>What RPM at the shaft? Perhaps a buffer unless it is geared down and has a chain sprocket for the drive. Then maybe use it as an electric drive from your up/down adjustment on your drill press. Just add a chain, a sprocket where the hand crank is now, a mount for the motor/gear box, and a switch for up and down.
