Roadmaster baseplate to Blue Ox towbar adapters

A while back I made a set of adapters to go the other way for tow bracket adapters. This time I'm making a set to go from a Roadmaster baseplate to a Blue Ox towbar. Made from 1.500 solid key stock they will never bend.

Silver tabs are Blue Ox, square tabs fit Roadmaster tow brackets and a Blue Ox towbar.

                          Test fit in Blue Ox style towbar connector

                                                      Bevel the ends

                                             Set zero with the table

                                Set 45 degrees in relation to the table and spindle

                            poor man's surface plate and scribe

   Nexus carbide end mill holder with APTK inserts, these have the correct geometry compared to triangle insert end mills. It will reach down in there! Very pleased with this cutter.

                                                             Deep slots
