Default slate tile question

Over the years I have installed ceramic tile for many family members. Now,
one wants slate tile installed.
Can slate tile be cut with a ceramic tile cutter or do you need a wet saw?
Is the same thinset used on slate tile?
Advice and recs needed, please.
Thank you,
Seamus J. Wilson


Thinset yes,
Glasscutter type tile cutter no- use the wet saw
Strongly advise sealing the slate before attempting grout as it's
surface irregularities make unsealed a pain to clean.
