OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Superior Welds

Achieve consistent, trouble-free wire feeding with the Lincoln Electric V-Groove Drive Roll Kit (W4017011). In MIG welding, the delivery of the wire to the weld puddle is just as important as the power source itself. If your drive rolls are worn or mismatched to your wire, you risk slippage, irregular arc starts, and frustrating downtime. This kit is designed to solve those problems for welders using solid wires in the .045" to 1/16" range.

The V-Groove design creates a firm grip on hard wires like mild steel and stainless steel. Unlike knurled rolls which dig into the wire (ideal for flux-cored), these smooth V-grooves preserve the integrity of the solid wire's surface, preventing metal shavings from clogging your liner and contact tip. This results in a cleaner operation and less frequent consumable changes. The kit comes with two rolls, making it ready for installation in standard 2-roll wire feed systems or as part of a 4-roll configuration (requiring two kits).

Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or performing precision stainless work, these genuine Lincoln Electric drive rolls provide the reliability you need. Their durable steel construction withstands the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring that your wire feeder operates at peak efficiency shift after shift.

FAQ

This kit features V-Groove rolls, which are designed specifically for solid wires such as mild steel and stainless steel.

It is not recommended. Flux-cored wires typically require knurled drive rolls (K-Groove) to grip the softer wire without crushing it. V-Groove rolls may cause slippage with flux-cored wire.

This kit supports .045" (1.2mm) and 1/16" (1.6mm) wire diameters.

The package contains a set of 2 drive rolls.

V-Groove rolls provide 2-point contact that grips the hard solid wire firmly without deforming its shape or shaving off metal coating, which ensures smooth feeding through the liner.

Yes, the W4017011 is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM replacement part.

If you have a 2-roll wire feeder, one kit is sufficient. If you have a 4-roll wire feeder, you will typically need two of these kits to replace all rolls.
