I read this forum too late, and missed out on the sage advice to plug the drain with a rag before attempting to cut off a broken toilet flange using a dremel cutter. Of course the bit fell out while cutting, and now I have the #402 mandrel with the 1 1/4" fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel attached to it somewhere down my drain. The toilet is on the second floor and the drain angles away towards the wall, which is about a foot or so away. I'm assuming that the cutter and mandrel are sitting somewhere near an elbow where the drain goes from the outside wall and into the slab. I've tried dropping a magnet tied to a string down the drain to see if I could fish it out, but have had no luck. Do you guys have any other ideas? Or should I just leave it in there and hope that it doesn't get stuck somewhere under the slab?
