SG-8 Carbon Composite Fork Threadless Saw Guide
Don't leave hacking down that carbon steerer tube to chance and instead, pick up the SG-8 Carbon Composite Fork Threadless Saw Guide from Park Tool. It accommodates carbon steerer tubes up to 1.25 inches in diameter and ensures a straight cut every time. Specially designed to accommodate wider, carbon specific saw blades, the SG-8 cuts on 1in, 1-1/8in, and 1-1.4in threadless fork steerer tubes. It also works great when cutting handlebars or seatposts. Simply clamp the SG-8 onto the tube and cut, letting the SG-8 guide the hacksaw blade. The SG-8’s non-scratching composite body incorporates steel threads and a steel reinforcing plate to withstand the rigors of heavy shop use. The SG-8 accommodates blades up to 2.5mm (3/32") wide.

Been using this for years now and have had no issues. If you know how to cut appropriately you can pass this tool down to your great grandchildren.

Brave enough to cut your carbon steerer, bars, or seatpost? Of course you are! Because with the correct tools, it is actually much less scary than you might have been led to believe. This helps keep your carbon specific blade cutting straight. With the whole assembly in a vise, clamp the carbon component gently and cut along your carefully measured line. Unrelated to the tool but a good tip I learned in my shop, use some painters or masking tape over the area where you are going to cut. This helps to keep the carbon from splintering. Just be sure to mark your line on top of the tape!
