OVERVIEW

Stop Fighting Your Wire Feeder

Is your wire slipping, stuttering, or birdnesting right when you're in the middle of a bead? If you are running .045" wire on a Thermal Arc or ESAB Fabricator machine, your drive rolls might be the culprit. The Tweco 376246-012 Drive Roll Kit is the factory-correct solution to get your machine feeding like new again. Designed for the Fabricator 181i, 211i, and 252i, this kit takes the guesswork out of maintenance by providing everything you need in one package.

We know that swapping wire sizes or replacing worn parts can be a hassle if you don't have the right components. This kit doesn't just give you the wheels; it includes the inlet and outlet guides that are crucial for keeping the wire straight as it enters the liner. The "FL/S" design means these rolls are ready to tackle both solid MIG wire and Flux-Cored wire. This versatility is perfect for welders who need to switch between clean indoor MIG work and outdoor flux-cored structural repairs without hunting for different drive systems.

Don't let a cheap or worn-out roller ruin your welds. Worn grooves can crush flux-cored wire or fail to grip solid wire, leading to burn-backs and frustration. Installing this genuine Tweco kit ensures your wire moves smoothly at the speed you set, giving you the consistent arc control you need to lay down perfect dimes. It’s a small investment that saves you time, gas, and patience in the long run.

Get back to welding:

  • Fixes slipping and erratic feeding immediately.
  • Includes guides to prevent wire shaving and jams.
  • Built tough for daily shop use.

FAQ

This kit is designed for Thermal Arc and ESAB Fabricator series welders, specifically the Fabricator 181i, 211i, and 252i models.

This kit is machined specifically for .045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire.

Yes, the 'FL/S' designation indicates it is suitable for both Flux-Cored and Solid wire types, often featuring specific grooves or knurling to accommodate both.

The kit typically includes the drive rolls (upper and lower) as well as the inlet and outlet wire guides.

Changing the guides ensures the wire is properly aligned with the new groove size, preventing shaving, drag, and feeding issues.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco / ESAB replacement part.

Generally, aluminum requires U-groove rolls to prevent deformation. This kit is designated FL/S (Flux/Solid), so it is likely V-groove or Knurled. Check for a specific U-groove kit for aluminum work.

If you experience wire slippage despite correct tension, or if the grooves appear visually rounded or clogged with debris, it is time to replace them.
