• Preferably both carbon and steel

    I wouldn't use a pipe cutter for steel steerers, and nobody would use one for carbon. Get a blade guide for your hacksaw if you don't trust yourself to cut straight without one, and make sure you use the right material specific blades.

    Because it kicks up a bit of a burr?

    It does make it square AF though.

    I’ve never taken the time to figure out if winding on more gradually lessens the burr.

    I dunno if it counts as a special skill or what but I can still cut a wonky steerer with the Park Tool saw guide.
