0445850001 - ESAB 0.6-0.8mm V-Groove Drive Roll for Solid Wire

Achieve Smooth, Consistent Wire Feeding

Struggling with an unstable arc or bird-nesting at the feeder? The culprit is often a worn-out drive roll. The ESAB 0445850001 Feed Roller is the factory-original replacement designed to restore the smooth, reliable wire delivery your ESAB welder was built for. This roller features a V-groove profile, which is specifically engineered to grip solid hard wires—like mild steel (ER70S-6) and stainless steel—firmly without crushing them. This ensures the wire moves through the liner smoothly, giving you that consistent "bacon frying" sound and a stable puddle control.

One of the standout features of this roller is its versatility. It is a reversible, dual-groove wheel: one side is machined for 0.6mm (0.023") wire, perfect for thin sheet metal and auto body work, while the other side handles 0.8mm (0.030") wire for slightly heavier gauge materials. Switching between sizes is as simple as removing the retaining mechanism, flipping the roller, and reinstalling it. This convenience means you don't have to buy or store multiple rollers for your most common welding tasks.

Using the correct drive roll is essential for quality welding. Using a knurled roller on solid wire can shave metal off the wire, clogging your liner and contact tip. Using a U-groove (meant for aluminum) on steel won't provide enough traction. This V-groove roller provides the exact amount of grip needed for solid wires. Made from hardened steel, it resists wear significantly better than cheaper aftermarket options, meaning you'll spend more time welding and less time troubleshooting feed issues. Upgrade your machine's maintenance routine with genuine ESAB parts for professional results.

Why Choose This Roller?

• Perfect Traction: V-groove design eliminates slippage on solid wires.
• Two-in-One: Flip it to switch between 0.023" and 0.030" wire sizes.
• Clean Feeding: Prevents wire deformation and shaving buildup in your liner.
