Brazing can be done with a small torch or a big soldering iron. Either electric or brazier heated. The tip on a torch should be small as you don't need the heat you use when gas welding or cutting.
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.
By cutting in a cast iron Wye so the flow enters the sewer line (soil pipe) at a right angle
If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling

how do i cut cast iron
I like to use tools. Screw drivers, rubber mallet, pliers, etc. For the adventureous, cutting torch and welding iron might come in handy (optional).
The best way to cut a cast iron pipe is to use a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade or a snap cutter specifically designed for cutting cast iron. These tools are effective in making clean and precise cuts in cast iron pipes.
Nitric acid is a strong acid that can potentially dissolve iron, but it may not be the most practical choice for cutting a 40mm iron rod due to safety concerns and the slow reaction rate. A more common and effective method for cutting iron rods is to use a cutting tool like a saw, torch, or grinder specifically designed for metal cutting.
NO, it has to be cut with a cutting or grinding disc.

To cut a cast iron pipe effectively, use a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade or a snap cutter specifically designed for cast iron. Make sure to wear safety gear, mark the cutting line, and cut slowly and steadily to avoid damaging the pipe.

The torch is constructed of copper and wrought iron.
To safely cut cast iron material for your project, use a cutting wheel specifically designed for cutting metal. Wear safety goggles, gloves, and a mask to protect yourself from sparks and dust. Secure the cast iron piece firmly in place before cutting, and make slow, steady cuts to avoid overheating the material. Be cautious of flying debris and always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the cutting tool.
Use a Barbie head. Sawzall with metal cutting blade to cut through pipe without damaging cast iron pipe.
Yes. I have replaced a lot of old leaky cast iron sewer pipe and always use a sawzall. I use regular metal cutting blades. If you don't have the specific blade handy use bimetal cutting blades.
