I thought this hater of fine oil pipe had cut the top into lots of
short length pipe. Leaving the T on the post.

Best way is to put it into a long lathe and turn it down. :-)

Yeah, that chain pipe cutter will pop the post off the top rail real
fast and leave a nice square clean cut - but that still leaves the
"fishmouth" of the vertical post welded to the top rail pipe.

He's trying to cut that fishmouth and weld off, and either a plasma
cutter or oxy-acetylene cutting torch is the tool for the job. The
choice depends on what you have available or the budget for.

Angle grinder for cleanup, and a stick, wirefeed or MIG welding
torch to fill in the inevitable divots. Then hit it again with the
grinder.
