You would do that with a standard fork, but not on this :)
There are no measurements to make as if you want to fit the C-stem without the Look spacer there is only one cutting position.
Look gives you a cutting guide to mark the steerer (if you want to get rid of the dedicated spacer), so I marked the steerer and then used a cutting guide with the frame upside down so the dust wouldn't go inside the steerer.
Google up for Look Headfit and it will give you an idea what I'm talking about...
It might be odd for traditional standards, but that's how it works :)

Gotcha! Thanks for the explanation.

I still don't get why you would leave the fork in the frame while cutting. There's nothing about the Look design which prevents your removing the fork and holding the steerer properly while cutting, then you can clean up all the dust in a completely different room from where the headset bearings are stored before bringing the (now clean) fork back into the clean room for final assembly.

I would do that on a standard fork anyway to ensure it's properly cut.
Doing it that way may likely to cause splinter on the steerer.

I understand "why", it's the "how" that I was curious about: you've the left the forks in the frame and mounted the whole lot upside-down in your stand.
I measure up, then remove the forks to cut them: is there a particular reason you've done it this way?
