Any good plumber knows a diamond blade is the best!
! You can use a Sawzall with "Grit Iron" blades, "Snap Cutters", or "Chain Cutters". Your cheapest way out of it would be either to rent a pair of snap or chain cutters, or buy the grit iron sawzall blades. Depending on how much cast iron your gonna cut, just be prepared to be there for a while if you are making more than 2 cuts through 3 or 4 inch pipe with the grit iron blades.
Hi,
Just cut a 4" cast iron pipe in less than a minute. I used a diamond blade on a Makita worm drive circular saw. Probably any circular would do as long as it has a little oomph
Good Luck !!!!

When confronted with having to remove a section of 4" diameter cast iron pipe, I initially considered using a hacksaw or grinder but the location was not the greatest(between floor joists under the upstairs bathroom).
Save yourself hours of frustration by doing as I did and rent a chain cutter. It required very little clearance around the pipe and cut it perfectly in a few minutes and cost less than $30 cdn.

SOMETIMES a hacksaw or Sabre saw with metal blades is even better than a snap cutter, as the snap cutter may crush a deteriorated pipe, and not cut it clean. However, with good quality cast, the snap cutters are still the best.

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.
