OVERVIEW

Reliable Feeding for Tough Jobs

When you are running heavy flux-cored or metal-cored wire, the last thing you need is wire slippage interrupting your weld. The Lincoln Electric KP52079-062C Drive Roll Kit is the solution for welders running .062" (1/16") wire who demand reliability and consistency. These drive rolls are equipped with a aggressive knurled texture that bites into the wire just enough to push it through long gun cables and torch bends without slipping, ensuring your arc starts instantly and runs smoothly every time.

Using the wrong drive rolls is a common cause of frustration in the shop. Smooth rolls often require you to crank down the tensioner to get cored wire to feed, which crushes the wire into an oval shape. This deformed wire drags inside the contact tip, causing burn-backs and erratic arcs. The knurled design of the KP52079-062C allows you to back off the tension, preserving the round shape of the wire while still delivering unstoppable feeding power. This means fewer jams, less downtime, and better welds.

This kit is a genuine Lincoln Electric replacement part, guaranteeing a perfect fit for your compatible wire feeder. Whether you are fabricating structural steel, repairing heavy equipment, or working in a shipyard, these durable steel rolls are built to handle the heat and the workload. Keep your production line moving and your beads consistent by refreshing your feeder with high-quality drive rolls designed specifically for the job at hand.

Key Benefits

FAQ

These drive rolls are designed specifically for .062-inch (1/16") diameter welding wire.

Knurled rolls are best for flux-cored and metal-cored wires because they provide grip without needing high tension, which prevents crushing the hollow wire. V-groove rolls are better for solid wires.

It is not recommended. The knurled teeth can dig into solid copper-coated wire, creating metal shavings that may clog your liner and contact tip.

Yes, the KP52079-062C is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM drive roll kit.

If you experience wire slippage despite correct tension, or if the knurled teeth appear worn down and smooth, it is time to replace the rolls.

Typically, drive roll kits include the rolls themselves. Inlet and outlet guides are often sold separately or as part of a different guide kit, depending on the specific feeder model.

Using the wrong size can cause feeding issues. A roll that is too large won't grip the wire, while one that is too small can shave or deform the wire.
