0366966889 - ESAB .045 V-Groove Feed Roll Kit with Washer

Smooth Feeding for Your ESAB Welder

Every welder knows that the secret to a perfect bead isn't just in the hand—it's in the machine's ability to feed wire consistently. If you are running .045" solid wire through your ESAB feeder and noticing stuttering, slipping, or erratic arc starts, it might be time to check your drive rolls. The ESAB 0366966889 Feed Roll is the direct replacement you need to get your machine running like new again. Designed with a V-groove, this roll is built to grip solid mild steel and stainless steel wires effectively without chewing them up.

Why does the groove shape matter? If you use the wrong type of roll, you fight the machine all day. Knurled rolls can shave copper coating off solid wire, clogging your liner. U-grooves might not grip steel hard enough. This V-groove roll is the Goldilocks zone for hard wires—it provides the traction you need to push wire through long gun cables without deforming the wire shape. This ensures the wire passes smoothly through the contact tip, maintaining good electrical contact and a stable arc.

This kit comes with the feed roll and the necessary washer. Don't throw away that washer! It is crucial for spacing the roll correctly on the shaft so that the wire lines up perfectly with the inlet and outlet guides. A misaligned roll is a recipe for birdnesting. By swapping out your worn rolls with this fresh ESAB kit, you eliminate one of the most common variables in troubleshooting MIG problems.

Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or doing production manufacturing, downtime is money. Worn drive rolls are a cheap part that can cause expensive headaches. Keep a spare set of 0366966889 rolls in your toolbox so you are never caught off guard. Compatible with select ESAB wire feeders, this part ensures your equipment performs at the level you expect from a top-tier brand.
