Hi and welcome. A quick search brings up Milwaukee m18 metal bandsaw with reference to a reamer attachment? Is this what you have . You will probably need to provide more information make , type , age etc so the knowledgeable members here can advised you further .

Hi Frank. Lathes.co.uk (costly) or put " Myford ML8 instructions" into a search engine. The fitting diagram and finangling details are out there for free.

Did you get the special fitting to replace the outboard bearing oiler cover screw for securely fixing the bandsaw to the lathe? Often these are missing, they clamp the bandsaw in place so that it can't rotate while running.
Hello Frank,
You might find these interesting even if it doesn't answer all of your needs!

Hi, Thanks for the replies. It is a myford Ml8 bandsaw attachment for the Ml8 lathe. It did come with the oil plug screw bolt / oiler for attachment. It all looks complete. I was unable to find anything for the bandsaw on the lathes.co.uk website although very useful for the lathe.

Frank, prepare to be disappointed or frustrated, maybe both. I had an ML8 and the bandsaw. Great wee lathe, appalling attachment. It is heavy, as I am sure you know - and manipulating it into place requires regular gym attendance. I also found it obstructed some positions on the lathe and its functon as a bandsaw left something to be desired; apart from anything else, (unless you are into pens and Grizzlemas tree decorations) its capacity height- and width- wise are restrictive. Your Euromiles may vary.
