OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Better Welds

Struggling with inconsistent wire feeding or slipping wire? The condition of your drive rolls plays a huge role in the quality of your weld. The Tweco 375980-010 Drive Roll Kit is the factory-correct replacement for your Tweco or Thermal Arc Fabricator welder, designed to restore that smooth, reliable feed you need for clean beads. Whether you are running .030" wire for sheet metal or .035" for structural frames, this single roller handles both—just flip it over to switch sizes.

This kit features a V-Groove design, which is the industry standard for feeding solid mild steel and stainless steel wires. The V-shape grips the wire firmly on two sides without crushing it, ensuring it travels smoothly through your gun cable. Unlike knurled rollers that dig into flux-cored wire, these smooth V-grooves preserve the copper coating on your solid wire, reducing flake-off and liner clogging.

Installation is tool-free and takes seconds. Simply remove the retaining knob, flip or replace the roller, and re-secure. Keeping a fresh drive roll in your machine eliminates one of the most common causes of frustration in MIG welding: the stuttering feed. Ensure your Fabricator 181i, 211i, or 252i is running at peak performance with genuine Tweco parts.

FAQ

This drive roll is reversible and fits .030" (0.8mm) on one side and .035" (0.9mm) on the other.

This is a V-Groove drive roll, which is designed for solid (hard) wires like mild steel and stainless steel. For flux-cored wire, a knurled drive roll is typically recommended.

It is primarily designed for Tweco and Thermal Arc Fabricator series welders, including the 181i, 211i, and 252i multi-process machines.

Simply remove the roll from the drive assembly, flip it over so the desired wire size marking is facing you (or aligned with the guide, depending on the machine manual), and reinstall.

Slippage can be caused by incorrect tension settings, a clogged gun liner, or using the wrong groove size. Ensure the drive roll size matches your wire diameter and the tension is set just tight enough to feed without slipping when blocked.

Typically, this part number refers to the feed roll itself. Some 2-roll systems use a flat pressure roll on top which does not require changing as frequently.

No, aluminum wire requires U-Groove drive rolls to prevent deformation of the soft wire. V-Groove rolls can crush aluminum and cause feeding issues.
