He is right about not cutting cast iron with a torch or not very well,which reminds me that if you have a broke off bolt in a casting you can torch it out,tap the threads and put a new bolt in.You have to be good with a torch but its possible and it wont cut the cast threads maybe.Anything can happen in a situation like that,but I have done it many times on Dayton wheels when a stud broke off in the cast hub.Also if you get cast hot enough anything is possible.Usually a torch and cast iron needs some knowledge of what you are doing,and could have something happen that you dont expect like breaking if you heat it up too hot in one place.I bet you could take a torch and turn one cast piece into two in a short period of time,cutting might not be the best word to describe it,but its possible to break it.
