Cutting Porcelain tiles

[chrism2050]

I have porcelain tiles in my bathroom and directly behind the shower is a cupboard from where my old boiler used to be.

I am wanting to cut a rectangular hole in this wall so I can fit a small flat panel lcd tv, but I don't know what the best tools to use or if there are any special preparations I need to be aware of before I go ahead and start cutting.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Diamond blade in an angle grinder.

What is it that makes this a difficult process? In my naivety I assumed as long as I cut slowly I wouldn't have a problem but people keep telling me how hard it is going to be.

Should I score the tiles first or cover them in masking tape to guide the grinder or is that not required?

No scoring needed,as you said take you time and you should be fine.
