make the tiles fit the frame usually, if you start cutting frames you might have to try to slide tiles 'under' frame.

Cut the frames and slide tile underneath, you can use a normal saw but you tend to skin your knuckles, i bought one of these, it does the job in a flash,

in theory its alot neater to cut frames etc for tiles to fit but not always practicle as it depends upon tile format, anything larger than 400 x400 you cant always slide tiles under due to there size.. dave....
