Despite being labeled for "Industrial and Scientific" use, this lockset was a complete disappointment. Through trial and error, I found that it was incredibly difficult to install and the carbide tip wasn't as durable as advertised. The one pro was that it did fit the 2 1/8 inch hole size .However the cons were numerous - poor quality and difficult installation. i would not recommend this lockset for anyone in need of a reliable product in the cutting tools category..
Pros
Durable carbide construction provides excellent strength and longevity.
Cons
The locking mechanism may require frequent maintenance to prevent malfunction.
This lockset is a great addition to any industrial and scientific toolbox. The carbide material is extremely durable and cuts through even the toughest materials with ease. The lockset is also easy to install and the quality of the product is undeniable .The only downside to this lockset is the slightly higher price point compared to other options in the market. Overall, i highly recommend the Champion CT9 2 1 8 Inch Carbide Lockset for any cutting tool needs..
Pros
Easy-to-install lockset made from durable carbide material
Cons
Some users have reported that the lock mechanism can be difficult to operate smoothly
