If you've ever tried to run aluminum wire through your Lincoln SP170T using standard steel drive rolls, you know the headache: the wire gets chewed up, it jams at the feeder, or it burns back to the tip because the feed speed is erratic. The solution is simple—you need the right tool for the job. This Aluminum Drive Roll is designed specifically to handle soft aluminum wire without crushing it.
Standard rollers use a V-groove that bites into steel wire to push it. Do that to aluminum, and you turn your round wire into an oval, causing it to drag and stick inside your gun liner. This drive roll uses a U-groove that cradles the wire, using friction rather than force to push it through. This means smoother feeding, less downtime clearing jams, and much nicer looking welds. It is a direct replacement part for the SP170T, meaning you can swap it out in minutes and get back to work.
Don't let equipment issues slow down your fabrication. Whether you are fixing a boat, working on a trailer, or customizing aluminum parts, this drive roll is the upgrade your machine needs. It’s a small investment that saves a massive amount of frustration. Make sure your machine is set up correctly with a Teflon liner (sold separately) and this U-groove roller for the best results.
