OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Feeding Smooth

There is nothing more frustrating than a wire feeder that won't cooperate, and sometimes the smallest parts cause the biggest headaches. If you have lost or broken the knob that holds your drive rolls in place, the ESAB 0458721001 Feed Roll Retaining Knob is exactly what you need to get back up and running. This is the plastic and metal knob that screws onto the center of your wire drive assembly, locking the rollers tight so they can push wire through your liner consistently.

Designed for easy grip, this knob lets you swap out your drive rolls in seconds without hunting for a wrench or screwdriver. Whether you are switching from solid wire to flux-cored or just changing sizes, this knob makes the process quick and painless. A loose or missing retaining knob can cause your drive rolls to wobble or slide off alignment, leading to birdnesting, erratic arc starts, and poor weld quality.

Don't settle for makeshift fixes that might strip the threads on your expensive wire feeder. This is a genuine ESAB replacement part, meaning it fits your machine exactly as the factory intended. It is compatible with many popular ESAB feeders like the Origo and Aristo series. Keep a spare in your toolbox so a lost knob never stops your production again.
