Step 1: Mark and Cut the Tile

To make a curved cut in a ceramic tile to make room for a pipe takes a little planning and careful cutting with a wet saw.

Use a marker to trace an outline on the tile where the pipe will go (Image 1).
Make several passes with the blade between those lines to cut away the tile (Image 2). This will create jagged cuts between the lines (Image 3).

Step 2: Smooth the Edges

To smooth the jagged edges, hold the tile in your hand, and carefully work it around the blade to carve the shape you need.
