7977732 - Thermal Arc .030-.035 V-Knurled Drive Roll Kit for Fabricator & Rebel

Genuine Thermal Arc V-Knurled Drive Roll Kit for Fabricator & Rebel Welders

Upgrade or maintain your wire feeding system with the Thermal Arc 7977732 Drive Roll Kit, engineered for .030" and .035" flux-cored wires. This accessory is a direct replacement for the feed system in Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i and 211i multi-process welders, as well as compatible ESAB Rebel units. When welding with gasless or gas-shielded flux-cored wires, standard smooth drive rolls often fail to provide adequate traction, leading to slipping and inconsistent wire speeds.

The 7977732 kit solves this issue with its specialized V-Knurled design. The knurled surface bites gently into the wire's surface, providing positive traction without flattening the tubular wire. This is crucial for flux-cored wires, which are hollow and filled with flux powder; crushing them can lead to feeding issues and poor arc characteristics. With these drive rolls, you can reduce the tension on your pressure arm, extending the life of your motor and liner while ensuring the wire feeds smoothly even through longer torch cables.

Installation is quick and tool-free on supported models, allowing for rapid changeovers between solid and flux-cored wires. This kit is a must-have for welders who frequently switch between processes or primarily weld thicker materials requiring the penetration profile of flux-cored wire. Ensure your Fabricator or Rebel machine delivers the professional results it was built for by using only authentic Thermal Arc consumables and drive components.
