Sorry.
I'm not sure about sealey but I need something smaller than the clark ones and that I can use to cut stainless with.
The Rage 3 I bought was hopeless and I sold it after 2 days.

That's better 
. Don't see why it wouldn't be ok but you'd need a very good quality HSS blade for stainless, any lesser blade would be destroyed in no time. That saw doesn't have a coolant feed either so you'd need some sort of cutting fluid. Might be worth asking a blade supplier first just to see what they recommend before you buy the saw.

I have a 4x6 (not an axminster) and it's a great little saw, not particularly accurate but I don't think many are. Again, you really need a good quality blade. I cut some 12mm stainless round bar on mine with a new carbon steel blade and it lasted no more than 5 or 6 cuts before dulling. Give Dragon Saws a call and tell them what you want to cut and they'll advise you on what blade you'll need.

I have a 4x6 saw and they are great little saws if you have a good blade in it for the metal you are cutting...Bob

this type of saw eats blades when I used to use them I found buying 10-14 tpi blaces but high quality ie starret M2 or somthing simular about £30 per blade worth every penney will out last 20 cheap blades and cut quicker if you put it on the slowest speed with a 14tpi blade in it it should do fairly well but as hitch says loose a tooth and you have lost the rest.
these saws will not give steady presure and are not strong enought to keep a constant cut so you will loose a tooth if you are not carfull.

That I'm not sure about, I've only ever cut small diameter stainless bar on mine and I just left the speed as it was. You're planning on cutting thin-walled tube so you need to get it rightto avoid damaging your expensive new blades. AAMetalmaster would probably know, he's a bit of a guru on those little saws. Might be worth dropping him a PM if he doesn't spot this thread, I'm sure he won't mind. You'll definitely need some sort of coolant/lubricant though, I use cutting oil/water mix and just dribble it on the blade as it cuts.
