0445850007 - ESAB 2.0mm V-Groove Drive Roll for Steel Wire

Smooth Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welding

Every welder knows that a stable arc starts with consistent wire feeding. If your drive rolls are worn out or mismatched, you're going to fight the machine all day, dealing with stuttering starts, burn-backs, and inconsistent bead profiles. The ESAB 0445850007 Feed Roller is designed to solve those problems for welders running heavy 2.0mm solid wire. This isn't just a spare part; it's the heartbeat of your wire delivery system, ensuring that the wire gets to the puddle exactly when you need it.

This roller features a precision V-groove, which is the industry standard for gripping solid mild steel and stainless steel wires. Unlike knurled rollers that dig into the wire and create metal shavings (which can clog your liner), the smooth V-groove cradles the wire firmly. This provides the traction needed to push heavy 2.0mm wire through long cable assemblies without deforming the wire shape. The result is better electrical contact at the tip and a smoother, more predictable arc.

Durability is key in a shop environment. These rollers are made from hardened steel, meaning they resist the constant friction of the wire sliding through them. Plus, ESAB designed this as a double-sided roller. When you finally notice the teeth starting to slip or the groove wearing down after months of heavy use, you don't have to throw it out immediately. Just flip it over, and you have a brand-new 2.0mm groove ready to go. It’s a smart design that saves you money and keeps you welding longer.

Installation is straightforward, fitting perfectly into compatible ESAB wire feeders without the need for modifications or forcing. Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel, working on pressure vessels, or performing hardfacing, having the right drive roll installed is the first step to a quality weld. Don't let a slipping wire ruin your weld or your day—stick with genuine ESAB rollers for reliable performance shift after shift.
