171115-003 - Thermal Arc .045 V-Groove Bottom Drive Roll for Fabricator 252i

Smooth Feeding for Your Fabricator 252i

Keep your Thermal Arc Fabricator 252i running at peak performance with this genuine .045" V-Groove Bottom Drive Roll. Every welder knows that a smooth, stable arc starts at the wire feeder. If your drive rolls are worn out, dirty, or incorrect for the wire size, you'll experience stuttering, slipping, and frustrating downtime. This replacement roll (Part Number 171115-003) is designed specifically to grip and feed .045" solid MIG wire without flattening it or causing shaving buildup inside your machine.

The V-Groove design creates two points of contact on the wire, providing optimal traction for solid steel and stainless steel wires. This is the bottom roll in your feeder assembly, the one that does the heavy lifting of pushing the wire through the torch cable. Installing it is quick and easy, allowing you to switch over to .045" wire for heavier plate welding or replace a worn-out gear in minutes. Don't struggle with erratic feeding or try to make a .035" roll work for .045" wire—it simply won't feed reliably.

Whether you are fabricating structural steel, repairing heavy equipment, or working on automotive frames, reliable wire feeding allows you to focus on your puddle control and travel speed rather than fighting your machine. This OEM part ensures that your Fabricator 252i operates exactly as the engineers intended, giving you the consistent wire speed needed for high-quality MIG welds. Pair this with a clean liner and the correct contact tip, and you'll notice the difference immediately.
