In order to install a new close-coupled WC I need to shorten the existing soil-pipe by a few inches. It appears to be cast-iron (1950s).
My Collins DIY manual suggests hiring a "ratchet chain-link cutter" for this task. I seem to recall reports, however, that cast-iron can be sucessfully cut with an angle-grinder.
I have sufficient access all round for my 4.5" grinder. What are the chances of managing this, or is there a significant danger of breaking the pipe? Would regular metal-cutting discs do the job?
Thanks for your thoughts.
