“I can get a perfect perpendicular straight cut “
does the perfect cut make the trails come alive 29er style ? 😀 😀
i can make straight cuts paralel to the vice – so if ive cut it squint then ive set the cut up squint in the vice – many years of practice that.
if i really wanted to get a straight reliable perpendicular cut quickly for multiple steerers – say on an assembly line i would fire up the chop saw – but thats over kill , its really not that important if the stem is fitted correctly – its more important that all sharp edges are eliminated IMO.
just pointing out that a pipe cutter is not the right tool by design to cut tube and will leave an undesirable finish which requires further finishing to prevent damage to your stem / bung seals or fingers !
have seen some royally chewed up steerers over hte years though worrying really.
also to the lad whos pipecutters just spiralling – turn it the other way.
