a tile cutter is the right tool for cuttilg tiles

If Rotozips are so good, why dont they sell them anymore in this country,
even all the other makes of spiral saws are slowly disapearing

"why spend £50 when he allready has a tool that will do for rectangular
holes"

because it's a case of using the right tool for the job. The wheel cutter
may be able to do it, but you run the risk of breaking tiles (or fingers)
etc The Rotozip is ideally designed for what he wants and the tool can be
used on other projects afterwards. The OP didn't mention anything about
being on a budget

Get a Rotozip type tool and a tile cutting bit, it works fantastically
for
this job. I did 6 tiles with cutouts in my bathroom and they look
great.
I've got the B&Q version of the Rotozip which was £50

If you are careful and don't mind the spray take the guards of your
plasplugs and lower(*) the tile onto the top of the blade. Indeed
ISTR
that this is in TFM.

Be careful to accurately mark both sides of the tile and cut from
underneath. Two sets of marks, the bottom ones so you know where to
start and the top ones so you know where to stop.

(*) Probably best to retain the fence to keep things square and as a
fence when the tile is flat and to "hinge" the tile down onto the
blade.
