Recommendations needed on carbon fork cutting tool

(1/4) > >>

Froglover825:
I'm doing a new upcoming build and I will inevitably need to cut my fork, any recommendations on cheap tools to get the job done?

I'm looking at this one from ZTTO, has anyone used it, and if so - is it any good?

I got one more or less like that, but from a more local online shop. These things are expensive on Ali.
It does the job.

I'm partial to the old stem method.
As long as you don't buy the ZTTO pipe cutter for carbon like I did

I just used a worm gear hose clamp and a hack saw to get it cut straight.. go slow no problem.. and about 50 cents

I just use a cheap hacksaw with fresh blade, an old stem and a few spare washers to cut carbon forks. I then use fine grit sandpaper to even out the cut. Make sure to do it outdoors and wear a mask.
