Maximize the efficiency of your MIG welding operations with the Tweco 375980-028 Drive Roll Kit. This high-quality replacement part is engineered to fit Tweco's popular line of multi-process and MIG machines, including the Fabricator 181i, 211i, and 252i. A properly functioning drive system is the heart of any MIG setup; without consistent wire delivery, achieving a quality weld is nearly impossible. This kit addresses that need with precision-machined tolerances and robust materials.
Flexibility is key in any welding shop. This reversible drive roll features two distinct grooves: one machined for .035" (0.9mm) wire and the other for .045" (1.2mm) wire. This covers the vast majority of general fabrication and maintenance welding tasks. The V-Groove profile is specifically designed for solid wires (ER70S-6, stainless steel, etc.). It grips the wire firmly on multiple sides to push it through the gun cable without crushing it, which is a common issue when using incorrect roll types like knurled rollers on solid wire.
Welders often overlook drive rolls during routine maintenance, but a worn groove can cause erratic feeding that mimics other machine issues. If you are experiencing stuttering wire or burn-back despite having a good liner and tip, check your drive rolls. The Tweco 375980-028 offers a factory-fresh grip, ensuring your wire feed speed remains constant relative to your voltage setting. This consistency is vital for maintaining proper penetration and bead appearance. Invest in genuine Tweco parts to ensure perfect fitment and longevity for your equipment.
