Default how to notch pipe

I need to cut a notch in the end of sched 40 3.5 inch pipe to allow 2 inch
pipe to pass through it. Available tools are reciprocating saw, drill press
with bits up to 1 inch and bimetal hole saws, and cutting torch. What's
the best way to do it? The notch needs to be snug because the 2 inch pipe
will be welded to the 3.5 inch pipe using stick welding.

Mike
