Just place the tile on the floor and start drilling. Really easy.

The only thing to consider is the surface underneath will be scratched as the core pops through the tile so make sure it is not something that will be on show. IE not the tiled bathroom floor. A scrap of wood is best.

Also my favourite method is to drill tiles outside over an open drain with a hosepipe trickling on the tile.
Sorry, I have to take issue with that statement Richard, the drill DOES wander if the tiles are off the wall, you DEFINATELY need the guide to help hold the drill in position when you first start, until you have a groove cut.
