0218510297 - ESAB 1.2mm Wire Feed Drive Roll

Keep Your Wire Moving Smoothly

There are few things more frustrating in the middle of a weld than the wire stuttering or slipping. Often, the culprit isn't your settings or your liner—it's a worn-out drive roll. The ESAB Feed Roller 1.2mm (0218510297) is the genuine replacement part you need to restore that buttery-smooth feeding you expect from your ESAB machine. Designed specifically for 1.2mm (.045") wire, this roller grabs the wire firmly without crushing it, ensuring that the wire speed you set on the machine is exactly what comes out of the nozzle.

Over time, the grooves on your drive rolls can wear down, becoming smooth or misshapen. When this happens, you have to crank down the tensioner just to get the wire to move, which can flatten the wire and cause it to drag in the liner or wear out your contact tips prematurely. By swapping in a fresh ESAB feed roller, you can back off the tension, saving wear and tear on your entire feed motor assembly while getting a more consistent arc. This roller is made from durable hardened steel, so it stands up to long days of fabrication work without losing its grip.

Installation is quick and straightforward, getting you back under the hood in minutes. Whether you are working on heavy structural steel or general fabrication, consistent wire delivery is the key to a good bead. Don't let a slipping drive roll ruin your weld appearance or cause burn-backs that destroy your contact tips. Keep a spare 0218510297 feed roller in your maintenance kit so you are always ready to tackle 1.2mm wire jobs with confidence. Trust genuine ESAB parts to keep your equipment running like the day you bought it.
