Default tile cutting: large circles

In article ,

I'm tiling the toilet floor, only there's a soil pipe in the way! I
saw these circular cutters that look like something from a gerbil's
cage but they only go up to about 90mm and of course soil pipes are
that little bit bigger. I thought cutting a hole and plonking it over
the top would be prettier than cutting a chunk out of a tile, albeit
that it will be hidden behind the toilet. Just wondered if anyone had
seen a larger (say to 6 inch diameter) tile cutter?


Are you actually cutting this hole in the middle of a tile? If not mark
out the hole then cut radials with a wet cutter up to the mark and snap
off the 'fingers'. Finish off with a ceramic file.
