what do you use for cutting out a plug socket(s) in the middle of a tile, not a nip job, a full blown square or rectangle in the middle of a huge tile that you have advised shouldnt be allowed anywhere near the kitchen as weoghs about 30kg lol

i use a drill and an angle grinder to cut the straights, what about you

this may help the newbies lol

What about drilling and using one of them tile cutting jig saw blades. I've seen them advertised and in tile shops. Any body tried them ? look like a lot of broken tiles and sore fingers to me!!!
