    Mouse sander VS orbital sander

    Both good to have, both made for very different tasks within the sanding process. The mouse will be good for edges and corners and the ROS for large areas. If the Festool or Mirka are too much, try looking at the Sealey "Mirkalikee" (See @petermillard 's channel) i got one for Christmas after...

    marking gauge, should the blade turn?

    @pgrbff It's a wheel to allow you to work both internally and externally on curved work without having your wrist rotate 3060 degress as you do so. Think of marking a groove on the inside or outside of a wooden drum or demi lune table etc.
