I'm currently trying to fit a cast iron fireplace at home and I have had to replace the bars. The closest match that I could come up with was some free standing reproduction ones also made from cast iron.
Unfortunately these have flared edges at the base which I need to remove . These can be seen on the linked pictures, marked with a chalk line, and are a bit of an awkward shape.

I have no idea of how to go about cutting these off and have even less experience in this sort of thing.
Does any one have any thoughts about the best way to go about this?
I was intending to hire and angle grinder but I'm a little worried about how easy they are to handle, particularly as the cut would need to be quite accurate and the area being cut is not flat.
