OVERVIEW

Reliable Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welding

When you are burning .045" flux-cored or dual shield wire, you need a drive system that won't let you down. The Thermal Arc 375980-002 Drive Roll Kit is built to keep your wire moving smoothly, so you can focus on the puddle, not the feeder. Designed specifically for Thermal Arc 2-roll systems, this kit is the direct replacement for worn-out or incorrect rolls in your setup.

Stop Crushing Your Wire

One of the biggest headaches with running flux-cored wire is getting the tension right. Crank it down too tight on smooth rolls, and you crush the wire, causing it to drag in the liner and wear out contact tips prematurely. Leave it too loose, and it slips, causing your arc to stutter and sputter. This kit solves that problem. The rolls feature a specialized FL/DS (Flux/Dual Shield) groove design that grabs the wire securely without needing a death grip. This means consistent wire speed, a stable arc, and better-looking welds.

Built for the Job Site

Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy equipment, or performing maintenance repairs, downtime is money. A jammed feeder caused by bird-nesting can stop production cold. These drive rolls are precision-machined to guide .045" wire accurately, reducing the friction and drag that lead to feed failures. The hardened steel construction ensures they stand up to long shifts and thousands of pounds of wire passing through them.

Easy Upgrade

Swapping out your drive rolls is one of the easiest and most effective maintenance tasks you can perform. If you are switching from solid wire to flux-cored, or if your current rolls are worn smooth, this kit is the answer. It includes the necessary components to set up your 2-roll feeder for .045" tubular wire immediately. Don't fight your equipment; equip your Thermal Arc welder with the right rolls for the job and experience the difference in feed quality.

FAQ

This kit is specifically designed for .045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire.

It is not recommended. These rolls are marked FL/DS (Flux/Dual Shield) and likely have a textured or knurled groove designed for tubular wires. Solid wires are best used with smooth V-groove rolls.

FL/DS stands for Flux-Cored / Dual Shield. It indicates the drive rolls are optimized for tubular wires that require a specific grip to prevent crushing.

This kit is designed for a 2-roll wire feed system, as indicated by the "2RL" in the product title.

It fits specific Thermal Arc wire feeders that utilize this style of 2-roll system. Please check your welder's manual or parts list to confirm compatibility with part number 375980-002.

Flux-cored wire is hollow and softer than solid wire. Special rolls (usually knurled) grip the wire without needing high tension, which prevents the wire from being crushed or deformed.

Typically, drive roll kits include the rolls themselves. Inlet guides are usually sold separately or as part of a different assembly, unless specified otherwise.
