-Only cut this once you have determined your final position! Once it's cut, you can't go back (unless you buy a new fork)
-Having the proper tools will make this much easier. Using a cheap blade/setup has more risk of damaging the carbon or making a poor cut. Its a high stakes procedure, so use the proper tools and take your time
-This is an advanced level job that may take upwards of 1 hr to complete. This is meant to show to process, but is not exact advice for your bike/your situation. You are cutting your bike's steerer tube at your own risk, and should consult your local mechanic if you need assistance
-It is possible to damage the fork steerer if you clamp the stem without the expander plug in place
