Haven’t watched his videos in a while, but:
1) he probably gets discs for free
2) he insists on using every grit, like from 80-100-120-150-180, etc

1) He might. As employees, we all did too. No one was deliberately wasteful, but time is money too. If going through paper faster, made the job faster, all good.
It's not wide-open-silly, there are some guiderails in place, but management always said, "If you need something just let someone know." There are a couple of people who are designated for such things.
2)With plastics, you really have to, unless you intend to stay at a specific level of dullness. Solid Surface is almost always done like that. It's rare to go to full gloss. It can be done, but it is not recommended, at least by me. It will take that level of polishing, but "in use" (especially in public) it will not stay that way. Just the fingers of a grown man, who works a manual job, will scratch it. Corain (and the like) will always "wear" to an equilibrium. If you leave it to dull, normal use will polish it. If you over gloss it, a natural dulling will take place. The only hedge against it is customer/client maintenance.
Lighter colors make it less noticeable.

I like watching the Dictum channel. Also I like watching Guido on the Holzwerken channel.
Naturally as an English listener, I have to use Auto Translate on the Closed Captions. For this video, the audio was auto-dubbed into English for me.
This week, the Dictum folks are showing how to properly loop and store your electrical wires by using three of the Festool CT Extractors.
I will venture out to the tool shed tomorrow to properly loop the cord on the CT MIDI I.
5-1/2 minute video
This is Guido showing how to use simple T-Tracks to make your own Parallel Edge Guides.
No need to do subtitles. Watch it on mute. Guido has superb hand motions to indicate all the necessary steps.
Start at the 10-minute mark to watch that segment.

I used to watch a lot of their videos, their stuff showing bandsaw techniques and tricks was particularly good.
Using "distance" sticks from the edge of a sheet to set the track can be done with a single or even no measurement far more accurately. Place the track where you want it to be on the sheet, set one distance stick to the track in place then set the second against the first ensuring that both now have to be the same. In the early days of using a track saw I used to string line the sheet, place the track on the line then set two distance sticks as above if I needed them. I no longer use a track saw as my mate sold his and I have a slider.

This is a video based around arriving at a design for a table. He chats to other designers and as the video goes on builds the table which has some very novel joinery ideas and the design dictates some of what he can or can't do in the joinery. He also shows a very novel way to use a Domino when access says the Domino can't be applied directly to the work piece. It is long for a YT video, about an hour long so be prepared for that.
