: : Cast ron pipe can be easily cut with an abrasive metal cutting blade for a circular saw or a diamond coated abrasive blade for a reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw is the simplest method.

Note of CAUTION: cast iron waste pipe is quite heavy. If attempting to "tap in" to a vertical section, be sure to first support the sections of pipe above the cut.
