1. Cutting the legs can be a sad state if they are hollow-cast. Cutting the legs is unusual and not much benefit. Pipe can be cut and threaded down.
2. The tile is harder than the cast iron; but can crack if on a flexible floor. Wood blocks will also compress over time. The installation can look good when the legs are mounted on small matching tile squares and the tile cut around them. The small squares can be adjusted or replaced at a later date if ever necessary.
