How can I tell if my tile is ceramic or porcelain?
The easiest and fastest way to tell a ceramic tile from a porcelain tile is to take a look at its edge. A ceramic tile, whether for floor or wall use, has a glaze on top of the surface, giving it its color and finish. Porcelain tiles may be glazed but are frequently not.
Does Dremel cut tile?

How do you manually cut tiles?
To cut ceramic tile by hand without a tile cutter: Mark the top of the tile where you want to cut it. Place a square on the tile slightly away from the mark.

Can you cut porcelain tile with a tile cutter?
A tile cutter works much like a glass cutter. This is a tool frequently used to cut ceramic tile, but it can also be used with porcelain tiles. Because porcelain is harder and more brittle, a tile cutter can be somewhat more difficult to use on porcelain tile. This is another tool that does only straight cuts.
