I found some old iron pipes that had been left rolling on my dining
room ceiling by a previous plumber. They are far too long to get out
without cutting them or taking up all the floorboards.

I have tried a metal cutting blade on my jigsaw but progress is
*extremely* slow - the pipes are thick walled and very hard.

Will an angle grinder with appropriate cutting disk do the job...I
don't actually have an angle grinder otherwise I'd try it. (I've never
used one before)

TIA

Mr F.

angle grinder and safety gear (goggles and gloves) will be fine, hold the
pipe with mole wrenches so that the cut off part will hang down, rather than
pinch the cutting disk, I would put a wet towel below and around you to
catch the sparks, beware that the sparks do not get to any glass, as they
will melt in (been there, done that)
