Dusty ( Hi by the way & welcome to the forum)...
i,m no expert on machinery but i very much doubt that saw will cope with cutting almost 42mtrs of box steel, its not so much the blade ( tho that is critical to the type of material being cut, must use a blade designed to cut steel), its more to do with the torque reaction of the motor in the saw.
i used a Fury3 compound mitre saw for a while but found it went thru blades too quickly, & so we at Saturn now have a professional cutting disc mitre saw, the kerf is a little more but the blades last alot longer, i also use a 1mm cutting disc in an angle grinder for the more acute angled cuts.
without telling you how to suck eggs, i,d take the advice from a shop salesperson with a pinch of salt & trust forum members opinions who have cut the same steel you intend / need to, maybe save you money & hopefully an injury.
i hope that doesn,t come across as rude, just hopefully helpful.
( i,ve now cut over 500mtrs of steel for chassis kits).
cheers
