Default cutting hole in ceramic tile

i have been using a plasplugs electric tile cutter with great success for
cutting tiles around sockets etc, but I now have to cut a complete oblong
hole in a single tile to accomodate the next socket and i have no idea how
to do it. Any help much appreciated.




Its a bugger.

You *can* sometimes do it by scoring the outline, and then drilling a
hole in the middle and using a tile nibbler to work outwards.

I think that a small dremel type grinder might do the job as well.

I normally just 'scire and snap' and fir the pieces back afterwards
