OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Better Welds

Frustrated by wire slipping or bird-nesting right in the middle of a bead? Often, the culprit is worn-out or incorrect drive rolls. Upgrade your setup with this Lincoln Electric Drive Roll Set, designed specifically for running solid MIG wire. Whether you are welding thin sheet metal with .035" wire or tackling heavier structural steel with .045", this kit has you covered. The set includes two rolls featuring a precision V-groove that grips the wire firmly without crushing it, ensuring a steady feed speed that translates directly to a smoother, more consistent arc.

Why V-Groove?
If you are running solid steel or stainless steel wire (like ER70S-6), you need V-groove rolls. Knurled rolls are too aggressive and will chew up the copper coating, clogging your liner. U-groove rolls are for aluminum. These V-groove rolls are the Goldilocks solution—just the right amount of grip to push the wire through the torch cable smoothly. This reduces sputtering and burn-back issues caused by inconsistent wire speeds.

Built for Lincoln Welders
These are genuine-style replacement parts designed to fit perfectly into your Lincoln Electric wire feeder. The kit comes with two rolls, making it ideal for standard 2-roll drive systems or for replacing a pair in a 4-roll system. They are reversible or combination rolls, meaning you get maximum versatility in one package. Keep a spare set in your toolbox so you aren't caught off guard when your old rolls start to slip.

FAQ

These V-Groove drive rolls are designed specifically for solid wires, such as mild steel (ER70S-6) and stainless steel. They are not recommended for flux-cored or aluminum wires.

Yes, the rolls are designed to accommodate both .035" and .045" wire sizes, often through a reversible design or dual-groove configuration.

It is not recommended. Flux-cored wire typically requires knurled drive rolls (with teeth) to grip the softer, tubular wire without crushing it. V-groove rolls may slip on flux-cored wire.

This package contains a set of 2 drive rolls.

The V-groove provides 2 points of contact on solid wire, ensuring sufficient traction for feeding without deforming the wire's round shape or flaking off the copper coating.

They fit many Lincoln Electric wire feeders and Power MIG series machines, but you should always check your machine's manual or parts list to confirm the specific part number compatibility.

If you experience wire slippage despite correct tension, or if the grooves appear visibly worn or rounded, it is time to replace the rolls.

No, aluminum wire is soft and requires U-groove drive rolls to prevent deformation and shaving. V-groove rolls will likely damage aluminum wire.
