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.
Use a Barbie head. Sawzall with metal cutting blade to cut through pipe without damaging cast iron pipe.

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.
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 !!!! WayneRenovators & Builders Alliance, Inc.wvalzania@renovatorsandbuilders.com 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. MM 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.
This takes a while, but should work. Use a hacksaw blade on the inside of the pipe and cut just through the pipe in two or three places depending on the size of the pipe. Once it is cut, you can pry the pieces out of the cast iron body.
To safely and effectively cut a cast iron pipe, you can use a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade or a snap cutter specifically designed for cast iron.

Mark the cutting line on the pipe, secure it in place, and slowly cut through the pipe using the chosen tool. Be cautious of sparks and debris during the cutting process.
Yes, it is possible. Unfortunatly, if you have a cast iron riser, you will have to chip out the concrete to get low enough to cut the riser to install a Clamp-all and a piece of PVC pipe. This might not be possible if you have a short riser. Then you would have to cut the cast iron behind the 90 degree turn. Either way, it's a pain in the butt. Call a plumber. It will be worth it.
Put a cutting blade on it and it shouldn't have water in it when you cut because of the possibility of shock.
You must break or cut the wall at that point. No other option
yes you can do it but you have to use a cast iron cutter, or cicular saw with a carbon friccion to cut arround the pipe. But if the cast iron pipe in in the ground and it's not muveble,, it may break.. so you have to be carefull and when you finish cutting it you put a piace of ABS pipe 1/2 shorter in each side. In order to incert the hob conectors..
