Yes, but it's a special pipe cutter for cutting cast iron. You can
rent one. It's essentially a chain with a small sharp blade at one
point that gets wrapped around the pipe. You then tighten the chain
until the blade causes it to snap and break.


And most times it broke where you wanted it to.

Last time I tried to rent one of those around here the rental centers acted
like I was crazy. They no longer stock or own one. Sawsall have made them
obsolete. Lennox make a coarse toothed blade that will cut right through
the cast iron pipe. I usually get one or two 4" pipes cut per blade. The hub
may be a bit harder to cut.
