I know it is too late now, but you can buy those cutters you put in a drill that is designed to cut circles, ive got a few and have drilled upto a 100mm hole in floor tiles before. Cost about $60

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but am impressed with the amount of good advice flying around.
I know this one has been solved in a round about way but if anyone ever come across this situation again (round waste in the middle of the floor) you should consider the following:
1/ Use the angle grinder to cut in from the back of the tile
2/ Use the nippers to rough out the hole close to the cut line
3/ Use a Dremel (or similar) to grind the cut out to a smooth finish.
Works a treat on ceramic tiles.

This way i dont have to cut the tiles and i will save time and save tiles aswell.
I will just lay it on top of the tiles sorrounding the pipe and it will look flush. A bead of silicone around the bottom and we are good to go.
I thought this way would be easier and it will look flush. If i had put the tub in first i would have had all these cut tiles sorrounding the tub when tiling up to it and would have looked silly.
ill post some pics of grouting

Drummelars, I would be a bit wary of putting silicone around the trough cabinet at floor level, unless its a plastic cabinet.
If its metal I would leave the gap open to allow any moisture/condensation to dry out as metal cabinets rust.Jack
