   How many do you need? If you only need a few, I suggest sawing the corners off with a tile saw and rounding the tiles with a router radius jig with a diamond bit.

   If you need dozens, I suggest sawing the corners off with a tile saw and rounding the tiles on a slow turning lathe with a diamond router bit.

   If you need hundreds or thousands, I recommend finding a machine shop with a CNC water jet milling machine. Or possibly a CNC laser.

   I was looking for the same thing last year and wound up using my Rotozip with a carbide cutter.  It worked pretty well on wall tiles, but the harder floor tiles didn't come out very well.  I got my best results by nibbling at it with my tile saw.

   Are you talking about making circles out of 12" tiles -- or drilling holes in the tile.

   If the former, whatever do you have in mind for round tiles of this size?
