7977660 - Thermal Arc 7977660 V-Groove Drive Roll .035/.045 for Fabricator 181i/211i

Smooth Feeding for Fabricator 181i and 211i

Keep your Thermal Arc Fabricator welder running at peak performance with the genuine 7977660 V-Groove Drive Roll. If you are experiencing slipping wire, erratic feeding, or birdnesting, the condition of your drive rolls is often the first place to look. This replacement roll is specifically designed to handle solid steel and stainless steel MIG wires, providing the consistent traction needed for a stable, spatter-free arc.

The V-groove design creates 2 points of contact on the wire, gripping it firmly without biting into the surface. This is distinct from knurled rolls (used for flux-cored wire) which have teeth that can mar solid wire and cause shavings to clog your liner. This kit features a reversible design: one side is machined for .035" wire and the other for .045" wire, giving you the flexibility to tackle different material thicknesses with a single accessory. Whether you are welding thin gauge sheet metal or heavier plate, ensuring your feed mechanism is equipped with the correct roller size is the key to professional results.

Don't compromise your weld quality with worn-out or incorrect feed rollers. This OEM part restores the factory-specified tension and alignment for your Fabricator 181i or 211i, ensuring that your wire speed remains constant even when the cable is bent or the torch is in a difficult position.
