a torch is the quickest way........... using some type of large saw is the best way, it does not heat the coils up. heating them up will ruin the rating on them, so if you use a torch cut it good and smoothe......... dont rush it, just get it cherry hot and cut it.
Also you can submerge most of the coil in a nice cold bucket of water, then cut it. this will keep the heat down some. But dont use water to cool off the freshly cut section, that will make it brittle.
