For porcelain floor tiles, you wil need powcered adhesive, it must either have porcelbond technology, or flexible properties.
The wall tiles being large format, will also need to be powdered adhesive but no need for flexible for those.
The cutter needed is one which will take the 660 cm wall tile you have, probably better with a wet saw this will tackle both tiles......Gaz

To be honest I can't remember with powder when I did'nt use use spf even with ceramics Gaz because of priming the walls

What is your substrate mate? It will make a difference what you can get away with. If it is concrete you can get away with a smaller joint (3mm min) as any movement is limited. If it is timber I would look at 5mm minimum.

For both dont forget your hole cutters. As well as your straight line cutters.

i always like to seal my tiles with pregnator, all depends on the tiles, but i hate it when the wet cutter spits all waste into the grooves
