171435-010 - Tweco .045 Knurled Drive Roll Kit for Thermal Arc Fabricator

Optimize Your Flux-Cored Welding with Tweco Knurled Drive Rolls

Struggling with inconsistent wire feeding while running flux-cored wire? The Tweco 171435-010 Drive Roll Kit is the solution you need for your Thermal Arc Fabricator welder. Designed specifically for .045" (1.2mm) flux-cored wire, these rolls feature a textured, knurled surface that acts like tiny teeth to grip the wire securely.

Why Choose Knurled Rolls?

Flux-cored wire is tubular and softer than solid MIG wire. If you use standard smooth V-groove rolls, you often have to crank down the tension to get them to feed, which crushes the wire and causes feeding problems. These knurled rolls provide positive traction with less tension, preserving the shape of your wire and ensuring a smooth, steady feed. The result is a more stable arc, less spatter, and frustration-free welding.

Perfect Fit for Thermal Arc Machines

This kit is a direct replacement part for the popular Thermal Arc Fabricator series (181i, 211i, and 252i). Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, keeping a set of the correct drive rolls installed is the easiest way to improve your weld quality. Don't let slipping wire ruin your bead—upgrade to the correct rolls for the job.

Key Benefits

• Positive Grip: Teeth bite into the wire for slip-free feeding.
• Reduced Deformation: Requires less tension arm pressure.
• Durable: Hardened steel construction for long life.
