48232 vs 48287 Differences
Chuck: The 48232 G3 Chuck was a left hand scroll (anti-clockwise) where with the 48287 LITE G3 chuck we have reversed the scroll a for more intuitive right hand scroll (clockwise). The old axiom known to many of Righty-Tighty (contract jaws) Lefty-Loosy (expand jaws) now continues with our new LITE chuck range.

We have also removed the numbering on the jawslides. After years of research and taking user input, we have found our method of aligning jaws to jawslide numbers outdated! Now, simply set your NOVA jaws on your NOVA LITE chuck at any starting position with your NOVA jaws in clockwise fashion by the jaw markings 1-4, it’s that easy!

Warranty: 48232 = 6 Year Jaws and Accessories + 6 Year Chuck Full Replacement* / 48287 = 6 Year Jaws and Accessories + 2 Year Chuck Full Replacement*

Inclusions: 48232 had a fixed position T Bar chuck key / 48287 now has an improved sliding T Bar chuck key to allow for easy scrolling when using NOVA Cole Jaws or other large protruding work. The 48232 included the NOVA Wormwood screw / 48287 does not include the NOVA Wormwood screw.
