floor drain in bathroom

A cutoff wheel on an angle grinder would work. But, depending on the type of tile (some is quite soft, some is nearly as hard as diamonds), you might be able to drill a series of holes, then crack it out. A softer tile might also work with a carbide saber saw blade, but it won't work on a good porcelain. THere are some diamond blades and bits for things like a RotoZip, if you have one of those tools. While expensive, a nice round hole could be made with a diamond core bit. Take all of a few minutes, and perfectly smooth. You might be able to rent one, but those generally should be used wet. You might find one for dry cutting, though.

Not a cut off wheel but diamond !

This photo shows the Angle Grinder with a cutoff wheel. Not sure why Jim is recommending a metal cutting "Cut Off Wheel" for cutting tile ?

This diamond blade for the grinder would be what most tile men use. We use cutoff wheels for cutting steel. Trimming Screw Heads. Cutting out old nails. Some times cast pipe. Never tile.

These are work horse blades....

A continous rim 4" blade is ideal....

Here is a video showing a sample cut with a diamond blade and angle grinder
