Hi all,
What's the best approach to this? When a pipe is so tight in a corner you can't even get a pipe slice around it? I can only think of using a dremel with a minature cutting disk on it. Any suggestions?

A multi-tool is better.

You won't get right through the pipe with a dremel disc - it's too small.
Much better to use a multi-tool (Fein, etc) with a blade for cutting soft metals.

Angle grinder? :-)
Hacksaw blade wrapped in tape to make a handle.
I've used a wire saw for exactly this situation before. The pipe in questio= n not only being right in a corner but also flanked by other pipes either s= ide.
The wire saw worked well, but I wouldn't particularly look forward to doing= it again. That said, this thing was =A33 or so off eBay so perhaps better = quality ones might perform better (faster).

Multitool with universal blade, will slice copper like butter.
