OVERVIEW

Stop Fighting Your Wire Feeder

Are you experiencing erratic wire feeding or constant burnbacks when welding aluminum? The culprit is often the drive roll. The ESAB 2075298 Feed Roll is specifically designed to solve these problems for welders using 1/16" (1.6 mm) aluminum wire. This roll features a U-Groove profile, which is the industry standard for soft wires. Unlike knurled or V-groove rolls that can chew up soft aluminum, the U-groove gently cradles the wire, pushing it through the liner without deforming it or creating metal shavings.

Using the wrong drive roll is one of the most common causes of frustration in aluminum MIG welding. When a drive roll deforms the wire, it increases friction inside the gun liner, leading to slip-stick feeding and an unstable arc. By installing the ESAB 2075298, you ensure that your 1/16" wire remains perfectly round and smooth from the spool to the contact tip. This results in a smoother arc, less spatter, and significantly less time spent troubleshooting feed issues. This is an OEM replacement part, guaranteeing precise fitment for your ESAB equipment.

Whether you are working on boat repair, trailer fabrication, or general aluminum manufacturing, the reliability of your wire feed system is essential. Don't let a worn-out or incorrect drive roll compromise your weld quality. Upgrade to the ESAB 2075298 U-Groove roll and experience the difference that the right tooling makes. It is a small investment that pays off in reduced downtime and frustration-free welding.

FAQ

This feed roll features a U-Groove designed specifically for soft wires, such as aluminum, with a diameter of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).

V-Groove rolls are designed for hard steel wires and can deform or shave soft aluminum wire, causing feeding issues. U-Groove rolls cradle the soft wire to provide traction without deformation.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring proper fit and performance with compatible ESAB wire feeders.

No, flux-cored wires typically require V-Knurled drive rolls to grip the wire without crushing the flux core. This U-Groove roll is for solid soft wires.

If you notice slipping wire despite correct tension, or if the grooves appear worn or oval-shaped, it is time to replace your drive rolls.

This is a standard ESAB feed roll designed for specific ESAB wire feed units. Please check your welder's manual to confirm the part number 2075298 matches your machine.

This item is typically sold individually. Most wire feeders require two or four rolls depending on the drive system configuration.
