Quantity makes no difference if you don’t read the reference material. I know instructions can be difficult for some users, so xtool was nice enough to include neat little pictures. I use this configuration with all of mine on a regular basis, as do many users, especially for glass with handles or pieces that are large enough to contact the base plate (that is what xtool recommends after all). Maybe the manufacturer, and the rest of us are wrong, but I wouldn’t count on it.
