get 2 steerer nuts and lock-nut them together as a pair with upper surface where you want to cut - then use as guide
if you want, do that again on steerer just over where you want cut too - leaving the gap in the middle only just bigger then the blade.
don't cut it unitl you have a least on nut lower than the cut on the thread - when you unwind it , it will clean ththread
get two nuts locked togehter just below cutting point and angle grind up to upper nut flange - for a clean cut and top
WIND THE NUTS DOWN A LITTLE finish with a file - BEFORE winding nuts off the steerer
