600221 - ESAB 3/32 Serrated Drive Roll 1.5 Inch OD

Get a Grip on Your Welding Wire

Every welder knows the frustration of a wire feeder that just won't cooperate. You pull the trigger, and the wire stutters, slips, or bird-nests right at the drive rolls. The ESAB 600221 Serrated Feed Roll is the solution for those heavy-duty jobs running 3/32 inch wire. Unlike smooth rolls that can slip if the tension isn't perfect, this serrated roll is designed to bite. It features aggressive teeth in the groove that grab onto the wire, pushing it through the liner and out the torch with authority, no matter how twisted the cable gets.

This roll is specifically sized with a 1-1/2 inch outer diameter, making it a direct replacement for compatible ESAB feeders. If you are running flux-cored or metal-cored wire, you know these tubular wires can be easily crushed if you crank down the tension on a smooth roll. Crushed wire becomes oval-shaped, causing drag in the liner and contact tip, which ruins your arc stability. With the 600221 serrated roll, you can back off the tensioner. The teeth do the work of gripping the wire, allowing it to remain round while still getting the push force needed for long gun leads or difficult positions.

Durability is key when you are burning wire all day. This feed roll is made from hardened steel, so the teeth stay sharp shift after shift. A worn-out drive roll is often the hidden culprit behind erratic arcs and porosity. If your current rolls have a groove that looks more like a smooth ditch than a precise track, it's time to swap them out. Installing the 600221 is quick and easy, getting you back under the hood faster. It’s a small investment that pays off in smoother beads, less spatter, and a lot less swearing at the machine.

Whether you are fabricating structural beams, repairing heavy earth-moving equipment, or working in a shipyard, consistent wire feeding is the heartbeat of your operation. Don't let a slipping drive roll compromise your weld quality. Upgrade to the serrated grip of the ESAB 600221 and experience the difference that positive traction makes. It gives you the confidence that when you pull the trigger, the wire is going to be there, exactly when and how you need it.
