Freehand with a piece of paper wrapped around the steerer...
Coming from a man with a lathe in his dining room (or is that a dining room in his workshop), I expected more.
A lot more.
Scilly.Suffolk-
I've got a saw guide. I don't like it. The gap is too wide and you end up with a wonky cut. And carbon fibre definitely isn't going to enjoy being turned in a lathe. Bottom line is that freehand is quick and it works. If I was deeply pretentious (rather than just quite pretentious) I could say 'All this by hand' a la Richard Sachs.

Freehand with a piece of paper wrapped around the steerer to act as a visual cutting guide, then file it to get it exactly flat and smooth, and put a small bevel on the outside. Never had any problems with fibre delamination.
