I need to cut a hole in a 45x45cm porcelain floor tile for the toilet waste. I.e. the hole has to be about 10cm in diameter.

Unfortunately the hole needs to be near the edge of the tile, but still entirely within the tile. I have attached an image for reference.

Whats the best way of doing this? I am thinking I need a diamond hole saw for the job, but I assume it would be expensive for a diamond hole saw this size. (Especially considering I only need it for one cut!).

I have a 50mm diamond hole saw. Perhaps use this and then tile nip it? I have a feeling it will look like sh*te if I do it this way.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

While I am at it, I will also ask about another cut I need to make to the tiles. I have attached another image showing the types of cuts I need to make around the corner shower. I assume the only way to make these cuts is this a tile saw? I.e. can I use a manual tile cutter for these types of cuts? I assume not.

Thanks for any help.
