Will a plasma cutter cut a cast iron pipe?
Yes, it should, I actually have a project that needs me to cut a cast iron pipe, and my soulution was to use a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter was develiped to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materialls. Unlike a oxy-gas torch which is only good for steel which has a high Iron content, Plasma will cut steel, stainless steel (which has a much lower Iron content), Aluminum, and I am sure will cut other metals as well. The cutting action is based more on the extreme concentrated heat cutting the material more than a chemical reaction, or burning action of the material.
How were the old cast iron drain pipes connected and how can they be replaced?
Two ways. Caulked joints and ty-seal joints. Cut the cast iron behind the hub and use a Clamp-all to join it to PVC pipe. If this sounds too difficult, CALL a Plumber.Why do you want to replace your cast iron? That would be alot of work, only replace what you need to. Unless it is your sewer line then i would replace it all to the main. I agree with answer # 1.IN ADDITION:Back in the day, cast iron joints were sealed together with hot lead. Depending on the position of the cast iron pipe and the size of it. Either one can cut the cast iron piping and clamp PVC to it or you can melt the old lead out of the cast iron joints and place PVC piping inside and then "recork" (reseal) it with prattley putty to prevent it from leaking.CORRECT1- Older CI roof drains were installed by Caulking using oakum and then pouring molten lead2- Some older CI drain drains used a Durham system meaning the Cast Iron drains were SCREWED the pipe galvanized in most cases and then the galvanized was caulked into a cast iron bell.It is unprofessional and highly unskilled to replace a cast iron leader line with plastic for several reasons.Seems the non skilled always try to use some type of epoxy..You may want to contact a licensed master plumber who has had the required 10,000 hr apprenticeship training
Why is silicon difficult to cut?
It is very easy to cut, however it would be difficult to cut into a desired shape. When you cut silicon you score it slightly then press it against an edge. However, it only breaks along the crystal lattice since silicon is usually available as a single crystal wafer. This means that you can only make clean breaks in the material. It does not "cut", you can only break it into pieces.
