Default Installing toilet flange on tile floor

I'm a bit perplexed as to how to install a toilet flange on a tile
floor. I bought a flange that will fit inside the pipe coming out of the
floor. The problem is I have to cut the pipe. I can only think of using
a hacksaw but that will still leave at least 1/4 inch of pipe raised
above the floor. The flange also has a bit of a taper to it on the
inside where it will meet the pipe which will raise it an additional 1/4
inch. Any advice?


Redo the pipe if it is abs cut it further back in the basement and
redo it back up to the flange, then use hub flange[ type that goe's
over pipe] as it will give you full opening, Spigot type shrink
opening and lead to pluged toilets. If on concrete chip some of the
concrete away from the edge of pipe to do the same thing get flange
level with floor quarter of inch above or below floor hieght max.
