The 'X-Stage'

The 'X-Stage' was a little more tricky.  You have to include the 'Y-stage' to make it happen.  As luck would have it, we had to cut down the 5mm bolt as suggested in the manual.  I didn't quite understand where the clearance issue was, until the whole thing was together, and then had to take part of it back apart.  Since I'm in a computer lab, finding a way to cut the bolt was even more tricky.  Luckily, I also have a robotics program, so I happened to have a metal hacksaw, and a c-clamp.  So, using a nut, I was able to clamp the bolt between the head of the screw and the nut and cut the minimum 5mm from the end.  A little emery cloth and a wrench and the end threads were useable, and everything was good.
