151036 - Miller .035 U-Groove Drive Roll Kit for 60/70 Series Feeders

Smooth Aluminum Feeding with Miller 151036

Welding with aluminum wire presents unique challenges, primarily due to the material's softness and tendency to buckle under compression. The Miller 151036 Drive Roll Kit is the definitive solution for welders using Miller 60 or 70 Series wire feeders who need to run .035-inch aluminum wire reliably. This kit is built around the U-Groove drive roll design, which is the industry standard for feeding soft MIG wires. By cradling the wire rather than cutting into it, these rolls provide the necessary push force without deforming the wire or creating metal shavings that can clog your liner.

This genuine Miller kit is a complete 4-roll system. Using a 4-roll feeder is highly advantageous for aluminum because it doubles the contact area on the wire, allowing you to back off the drive roll tension. Less tension means less deformation, which translates to smoother feeding and fewer "bird nests"—the welder's worst nightmare. The kit doesn't just stop at the rolls; it comes fully equipped with an inlet wire guide, an intermediate wire guide, and an anti-wear guide. These components work in unison to support the wire as it travels from the spool, through the drive rolls, and into the gun cable, ensuring a straight and friction-free path.

Installation is straightforward, as the kit is designed specifically for the architecture of Miller's 60 and 70 Series feeders (including models like the S-74). The included screw set ensures you have fresh hardware to secure the guides properly. When you switch from steel to aluminum, or simply need to replace worn components, swapping in the entire 151036 kit resets your wire feeding path to factory-optimal conditions.

Don't let poor feeding ruin your aluminum welds or slow down your project. The Miller 151036 Drive Roll Kit offers the precision and grip required for professional results. By maintaining the integrity of the wire shape, you ensure better electrical contact at the tip and a more stable arc, ultimately leading to cleaner, stronger welds with less frustration.
