measure twice cut once.
mark place u need to cut with painters tape and pencil marking. I use a 'ultrasonic' cutter thing that's i use for fiberglass stuff on cars for carbon steerers. seems to work fine. Doesn't get the straightest cuts cuz it's like vibration city, but i then followup with a little sanding on the top of the steerer to make it 'straight'. Account for all of that when measuring to cut (if u cut), as you take off some material if you follow it up with another process.
so far i still have all my teeth and i've cut 4 steerers like this.
