OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Moving Smoothly

Every welder knows the frustration of a sputtering gun. You pull the trigger, and the wire hesitates, slips, or bird-nests right at the feeder. Often, the culprit isn't the machine or the liner—it's worn-out or incorrect drive rolls. The Thermal Arc 375980-063 Drive Roll Kit is your solution for running heavier wires like .052" and 1/16" without the headache. Designed for 4-roll feeder systems, this kit gives you the grip you need to push wire consistently, ensuring your arc stays hot and steady.

When you are running thick wire, you need traction. A 4-roll system is the best way to get it because it grabs the wire at four points. This means you don't have to crank down the tension knob as hard, which saves your wire from getting crushed and flattened. Flattened wire drags inside the liner and gets stuck in the contact tip, causing all sorts of feed issues. These Thermal Arc rolls are made to fit the wire perfectly, guiding it smoothly into the gun so you can focus on your puddle, not on fighting your equipment.

This kit is built tough for the shop environment. If you are fabricating heavy structural steel, repairing heavy machinery, or doing production MIG work, you can't afford downtime. Swapping out your old, grooved-out rollers for this fresh kit can make an old feeder feel brand new again. It’s a small investment that pays off in smoother welds, fewer burn-backs, and less time wasted clearing jams.

Make sure you are matching your drive rolls to your wire size. Using the wrong size rolls is a recipe for disaster—too big and they slip, too small and they shave metal shavings off the wire that clog up your liner. This kit is specifically sized for .052 and 1/16 inch wire, taking the guesswork out of setup. Grab this kit, install it in your Thermal Arc feeder, and get back to laying down beads with confidence.

FAQ

This kit is specifically designed for .052 inch and 1/16 inch welding wires.

This kit is designed for a 4-roll wire feeder configuration, providing superior traction and feeding stability.

A 4-roll system distributes the gripping force over a larger area, allowing for better traction without deforming or crushing the wire, which is critical for heavier gauges like 1/16 inch.

It is designed for specific Thermal Arc wire feeders that utilize the 4-roll system. Please check your machine's manual or parts list to confirm compatibility with part number 375980-063.

Drive rolls should be replaced when the grooves show signs of wear, or if you experience wire slippage that cannot be corrected with normal tension adjustments. Visual inspection for worn teeth or grooves is recommended regularly.

While the specific groove type (V-groove or Knurled) isn't specified in the basic data, .052 and 1/16 are common sizes for flux-cored and metal-cored wires. Ensure the roll surface matches your specific wire type requirements (knurled is typically preferred for flux-cored).

Drive roll kits typically focus on the rolls themselves. Refer to the specific package contents or your feeder's diagram, as guides are often sold separately or as part of a different assembly group.

Using the wrong size can cause wire slippage (if too large) or wire deformation and shaving (if too small), leading to liner clogs, erratic feeding, and poor weld quality.
