OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Moving Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than a wire feeder that slips right in the middle of a long weld. If you are running 0.052" flux-cored or metal-cored wire, you need drive rolls that can handle the job. The Lincoln Electric W4017216 Feed Roll Set is designed with a V-Knurled (VK) groove that grabs the wire and pushes it through the gun liner without slipping, even when the cable is bent or long.

Standard smooth rolls just don't cut it for cored wires—if you tighten them enough to grip, you end up crushing the wire, which leads to feeding issues and contact tip jams. These knurled rolls solve that problem by using small teeth to grip the wire surface, meaning you can back off the tensioner and still get a steady, consistent feed. This keeps your wire round and your arc smooth.

This kit comes with two rolls, perfect for getting your feeder set up or replacing worn-out gear. They are built tough to last through spool after spool of wire. Swap these in, set your tension correctly, and get back to laying down beads without the headache of bird-nesting or stuttering feeds.

FAQ

These rolls are machined specifically for 0.052-inch (approx. 1.3 mm) welding wire.

VK stands for V-Knurled. This indicates the groove has a textured pattern designed to grip tubular wires like flux-cored or metal-cored wire.

It is not recommended. Knurled rolls can dig into solid wire and create metal shavings that clog liners. Use smooth V-groove rolls for solid wire.

The package contains a set of 2 drive rolls.

Flux-cored wire is a hollow tube and can be crushed by the high tension required for smooth rolls. Knurled rolls provide traction with less tension, preventing deformation.

Yes, these are genuine Lincoln Electric replacement parts designed for compatibility with their wire feeder systems.

They fit specific Lincoln wire feeders designed for this roll style. Please check your feeder's manual or parts list for compatibility with the W4017216 or KP series rolls.

Yes, it is best practice to replace both rolls simultaneously to ensure even wear and consistent wire feeding pressure.
