Default how do you suggest cutting a round hole in existing ceramic floor tile

I'm in need of a six inch round hole in ceramic floor tile for a cook
top vent system. It is under a cabinet so neatness or exactness is not
critical. I only have one to do so would rather not invest a lot into
it.

Is the dry diamond wheel on a grinder the best way to go or are there
better suggestions?

Thanks for your input.

I have seen China made carbide tipped hole saws of various sizes
including 6 inch. They are a must to cut holes in granite
countertops. Perhaps you can rent one. But a stitch line of 1/8 drill
holes made with a masonry bit is still the easiest way to go.
