OVERVIEW

Stop Wire Slippage with Lincoln Electric V-Knurled Rolls

Are you struggling with inconsistent wire feeding while running flux-cored wire? The problem might be your drive rolls. The Lincoln Electric .045" V-Knurled Feed Roll Set is designed specifically to solve the challenges of feeding tubular wires. If you are using standard smooth V-groove rolls on flux-cored wire, you likely have to crank down the tension to get it to feed, which crushes the wire and causes shavings to clog your liner.

These V-Knurled rolls feature a textured groove that grabs the wire securely without needing excessive pressure. This means your wire stays round, your liner stays clean, and your arc stays stable. This kit comes with a set of two rolls, perfect for getting your Lincoln Electric wire feeder back to peak performance.

Key Benefits for the Welder

  • Positive Traction: The knurled teeth ensure the wire keeps moving, even through long gun cables or difficult positions.
  • Reduced Wear: By requiring less tension, you reduce strain on the wire feeder motor and wear on the drive roll bearings.
  • Versatility: Ideal for both gas-shielded and self-shielded .045" flux-cored wires.

Don't let poor feeding ruin your welds. Swap out your worn or incorrect rolls with this genuine Lincoln Electric set and experience the difference in your wire delivery immediately. Perfect for heavy fabrication shops, field repairs, and structural steel work.

FAQ

This set is designed for .045" (1.2 mm) tubular wires, specifically Flux-Cored (FCAW) and Metal-Cored (MCAW) wires.

It is not recommended. The knurled teeth will dig into solid wire, creating metal shavings that can clog your liner and contact tip. Use smooth V-Groove rolls for solid wire.

Flux-cored wire is hollow and softer than solid wire. Knurled rolls provide grip (traction) without needing high tension that would crush or deform the wire.

The package contains a set of 2 drive rolls.

Yes, it is best practice to ensure your inlet and outlet guides match the wire diameter to prevent wire shaving and feeding issues.

These fit specific Lincoln Electric wire feeders designed for this roll style. Please check your welder's manual or parts list for compatibility with the W4017215 or equivalent part number.
