407002-009 - Tweco V-Groove Drive Roll .030-.035/.045 for Fabricator Series

Smooth Feeding for Superior Welds

Every welder knows that a stable arc starts with a consistent wire feed. If your wire is slipping, stuttering, or bird-nesting, the culprit is often a worn-out or incorrect drive roll. The Tweco 407002-009 V-Groove Drive Roll is designed to restore the smooth, reliable feeding you need to lay down perfect beads. Whether you are working on thin sheet metal with .030" wire or fabricating heavier structural components with .045" wire, this single accessory has you covered thanks to its smart reversible design.

Two Rolls in One
Why buy separate rolls for every job? This Tweco drive roll features two distinct grooves. Simply flip the roll to switch between the .030"-.035" setting and the .045" setting. This is perfect for the Fabricator 181i, 211i, or 252i owner who switches between auto-body work and heavy fabrication. The clear markings on the side of the roll make it easy to identify which groove is active, ensuring you never waste time troubleshooting a mismatch between your wire and your feeder.

Built for Solid Wire
This roll features a "V-Groove" profile, which is the industry standard for solid mild steel and stainless steel wires. The V-shape cradles the wire firmly, providing excellent traction without crushing it. This is a major advantage over using the wrong type of roll (like a knurled roll intended for flux-core), which can chew up solid wire and fill your liner with metal dust. By using the correct V-groove roll, you extend the life of your gun liner and contact tips, saving you money on consumables in the long run.

Easy Maintenance
Installing the 407002-009 is quick and requires no special tools, getting you back to welding in minutes. Made from durable hardened steel, it resists wear significantly longer than cheaper aftermarket alternatives. If you are experiencing erratic feeding or burn-back, checking and replacing your drive roll is one of the cheapest and most effective fixes available. Keep your Fabricator running like new with this genuine Tweco component.
