48266 vs 48308 Differences

Chuck: The 48266 bundle included the 48232 G3 Chuck and was a left hand scroll (anti-clockwise) where with the 48308 bundle it includes the 48287 LITE G3 chuck that 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 After years of research and taking user input, we have found our method of aligning jaws to jawslide numbers outdated!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: 48266 = 6 Year Jaws and Chuck Full Replacement* + 2 Year Accessories and Inclusions/ 48308 = 6 Year Jaws + 2 Year Chuck, Accessories and Inclusions Full Replacement*

Inclusions: 48266 had a fixed position T Bar chuck key / 48308 now has an improved sliding T Bar chuck key to allow for easy scrolling when using NOVA Cole Jaws or other large protruding work.
