    ?Tiling around shower drain.
    I'm planning on re-tiling our shower. I'll be using 4X4 tiles on the shower floor. My question is, what do you use to cut the tile around the drain, hole-saw? Thank you. Tim

    Hole saw or carefully used nippers. Use your tile saw to cut the largest end and then use nippers.

    Tell us more about these 4x4 tiles. Are they porcelain tiles or basic ceramic 4 1/4 x 4 1/4" like those sometimes used on walls? Do you have names or other info?

    All of the above or use a:

    Roto-zip tool with tile cutting bit

    Angle grinder with a diamond blade

    Dremel tool with a diamond/carbide blade
