Altering a soil pipe

[plumbingdazman]

Friend needs there soil pipe moved under floor boards as they are moving the toilet to another location to allow a shower to be fitted.
What is the easiest way to cut through the soil pipe to move it, is it just a saw or is there an easier way many thanks?

if its plastic a wood saw is best preferably one thats been used as brand new ones seem to risk cracking the pipe

Old saw as the plastic blunts the saw and it's a shame to waste a new one.

Yeah a predators great if you don't mind having chunks cut out of your fingers. Look at the spec from the pipe makers: A fine tooth saw, which a Predator ain't.

This one is.It's designed for plastic. Fine tooth finish,14 tpi,seems pretty fine to me.
