When you are running 1/16-inch wire, you are likely tackling serious structural work or heavy fabrication. In these situations, the last thing you need is your wire feeder struggling to push the wire through the gun. The Tweco 375980-074 Drive Roll Kit is designed specifically to keep you welding without interruption. This kit is built for 4-roll wire feed systems, which are the gold standard for feeding larger diameter wires. By using four rolls instead of two, the feeder gets a solid grip on the wire without having to crush it, ensuring smooth delivery from the spool to the puddle.
Why the Right Roll Matters
Using the wrong size drive roll is the number one cause of feeding issues. If your rolls are too small, they will shave the wire, filling your liner with metal shavings that eventually jam the gun. If they are too big, the wire will slip, causing your arc to stutter and sputter. This kit is precision-machined for exactly 1/16" (1.6mm) wire, giving you the perfect fit. The double-drive design ensures that the wire is gripped firmly, providing the traction needed to push through long cable assemblies or withstand the resistance of twisted gun cables.
Built for Durability
Tweco parts are known for their longevity, and these drive rolls are no exception. Made from hardened steel, they resist wear and tear even after running hundreds of pounds of wire. For welders who rely on their equipment day in and day out, installing genuine Tweco replacement parts means less time fixing the machine and more time burning metal. Whether you are replacing worn-out rolls or setting up a machine for a new job requiring 1/16" wire, this kit is the reliable choice.
Installation Tips
Swapping out your drive rolls is a quick maintenance task that pays off immediately. When installing this kit, make sure to clean out any debris from the wire drive assembly. Align the rolls carefully with the wire guide to prevent drag. Once installed, set your tension just tight enough to prevent slipping when the wire is blocked at the tip—over-tightening can deform the wire and wear out the motor. With the Tweco 375980-074, you can trust your feeder to deliver consistent performance, weld after weld.
