Manual Cutting Method for socket/outlets in middle of ceramic tiles?

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Beginner DIY Tiler, I'm contemplating drilling (with ceramic tile carbide tipped drill bits) then using a hand saw with tungsten blade to cut the required piece out.

Would this work okay?

I don't think using a wet saw, which I do have to do this would feel comfortable and using a manual saw you can easily stop or correct yourself as you go without wrecking a tile.
