KP1899-2 - Lincoln Electric KP1899-2 Solid Wire Drive Roll Kit 1/16-3/32

Smooth Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welding

When you are running heavy wire on big jobs, the last thing you need is a feed issue stopping the arc. The Lincoln Electric KP1899-2 Drive Roll and Guide Tube Kit is designed to keep your Cruiser tractors and NA-series feeders running smoothly. This kit is built specifically for solid wire in the 1/16 inch to 3/32 inch range, commonly used in heavy structural and submerged arc welding. If you are seeing slippage or inconsistent wire speeds, it might be time to refresh your drive rolls, and this kit has everything you need to do it right.

Changing out drive rolls isn't just about maintenance; it's about performance. Worn rolls can flatten wire or fail to push it through the cable consistently, leading to burn-backs and uneven welds. The KP1899-2 includes precision-grooved rolls that grab the wire securely without crushing it. This is especially important for solid wires where surface integrity matters for electrical contact at the tip. Along with the rolls, the kit comes with the correct guide tubes. These tubes are essential for guiding the wire straight into the rolls and out into the gun or torch, preventing the wire from wandering or bird-nesting inside the feeder.

This kit is a perfect match for a wide range of Lincoln's industrial workhorses, including the NA-3, NA-4, and NA-5 feeders, as well as the Cruiser and Tandem Cruiser tractors. Whether you are welding thick plate on a bridge deck or fabricating pressure vessels, reliable wire feeding is the foundation of a good weld. With the KP1899-2, you can switch between 1/16", 5/64", and 3/32" wire sizes quickly, ensuring your machine is always set up correctly for the task at hand. Don't let worn parts compromise your weld quality—keep your feeder in top shape with genuine Lincoln Electric parts.
