OVERVIEW

Achieve Flawless Wire Feeding with Tweco

Every welder knows that the secret to a perfect bead isn't just in the hand—it's in the machine's ability to deliver wire smoothly and consistently. The Tweco 375980-003 Drive Roll Kit is your first line of defense against the frustration of erratic wire feeding, slipping, and the dreaded "birdnesting" at the feeder. Designed specifically for the two most popular solid wire sizes, .030" and .035", this kit ensures that your MIG welder performs at its peak, whether you are patching a fender or fabricating a structural frame.

Why Drive Rolls Matter
Over time, drive rolls wear down. The sharp edges of the groove become rounded, and the traction needed to push the wire through the liner is lost. When this happens, you might find yourself overtightening the tensioner to compensate, which only crushes the wire and causes drag in the liner. The solution is a fresh, high-quality drive roll. The Tweco 375980-003 features a precision V-groove that grips solid wire firmly but gently, ensuring it moves at the exact speed set by your machine. This consistency is vital for maintaining a stable arc and achieving deep, uniform penetration.

Versatility and Durability
This kit is built for convenience and longevity. The reversible design means you essentially get two drive rolls in one. If you are welding thin sheet metal with .030" wire today and moving to thicker stock with .035" wire tomorrow, swapping the setup takes seconds. Made from hardened steel, these rolls resist the grooving and wear that cheaper components suffer from, giving you hundreds of hours of reliable welding. Don't let a worn-out $20 part ruin a critical weld or waste your valuable time troubleshooting feed issues. Upgrade to the Tweco 375980-003 and experience the difference that precision feeding makes in your daily welding operations.

Compatibility
This kit is designed for welders that utilize a 2-roll feed system, including popular models from the Tweco and Thermal Arc Fabricator lines. Check your machine's manual to confirm compatibility, and get back to welding with confidence.

FAQ

This kit supports .030-inch (0.8 mm) and .035-inch (0.9 mm) wire diameters.

This kit features V-grooves, which are designed for solid MIG wires. Flux-cored wires typically require knurled drive rolls.

The drive roll is reversible. Simply remove it from the drive shaft, flip it over to the side marked for your desired wire size, and reinstall it.

It is compatible with select Tweco and Thermal Arc MIG welders that use a 2-roll wire feed system, such as the Fabricator series.

Slipping can be caused by incorrect tension settings, a clogged liner, or using the wrong groove size for the wire. Ensure the roll size matches your wire diameter.

The drive rolls are made from hardened steel to resist wear and deformation.

It is not recommended. Aluminum wire is soft and typically requires U-groove drive rolls to prevent deformation and shaving.
