I'm using the Rage 3 as well . I needed it for decking etc and didn't want to buy a proper saw so I just can't it very slowly when cutting and it seems to be very good when I set up the laser properly.

Yup cutting the two BR's with 70degs angle (don;t have manual to hand, cba walking to garage lol) atm with a hacksaw

Provided you clamp the box section down it cuts it fine, I also had bought it to build a deck so makes sense to use it for the build

Your welds look nice and neat.
Its hard to see the heat effected zone on the picture (the oval of discolouration around the weld) It can be used to indicate penetration on some of the welds I would expect to see a little more.
The top left weld has a nice zone showing where as the top right one doesn't have as much and tails off towards the end of the weld.
but I wouldn't worry they look at lot better than others I have seen.
