So I got my fork cut at a local shop, and it seems they were in a bit of a hurry. Already agreed to refund the cost, but I want your opinion: Do I need to sand the uneven lip on the edge off? Can I do it while the fork is in the bike?
Thanks!

You don’t really need to. It shouldn’t impact anything really. As long as you can properly preload the bearings you’re fine. However me being me, I’d put on a respirator (carbon dust can be dangerous for health) and give it a slight chamfer with some sand paper. Probably not a file as that might tear it up. Don’t really try and get it super level, chances are you will get it wrong and make it worse. This isn’t too bad honestly. I’ve run worse.
Yes. You won’t get it level I feel.
