The bottom miter gear will be a keyed 1/2" bore, and the rest of the shaft will be 1/2" hex.
Free speed is currently 15.89 ft/s with a 5.83:1 reduction. Will be reduced more if I change the top HTD pulleys to GT2. The weight will be posted once I add the rest of the parts.

Where is that miter gear coming from? I haven't found a good source for keyed miters yet. Unless you already own a key broach and not a hex (which I would recommend buying; they're quite useful, if expensive).
16fps is a good number.
