Default Plasma cutter for cast iron?

A plasma cutter would work great for this application.

Habitat has a HUGE steam heat boiler that needs to be cut into smaller
pieces. A gas torch is out - the manager is a cautious one. Is there
anything different about using a plasma cutter on cast iron? I wouldn't
think so, but I've never done it. I guess that you would get a lot of
soot in the cloud of vaporized iron.


Sounds like a job for a HUGE sledge hammer, some safety gear and lots, lots
and more lots of hearing protection.
