KP1505-068 - Lincoln Electric 4-Roll Drive Kit for .068-.072 Cored and Solid Wire

Smooth and Reliable Wire Delivery

Upgrade your welding setup with the Lincoln Electric KP1505-068 Drive Roll Kit, designed to deliver flawless performance for .068 to .072 inch (1.7-1.8 mm) welding wires. Any experienced welder knows that the quality of the weld often begins at the feeder. If the wire slips, drags, or deforms before it even reaches the gun, the resulting arc instability can ruin a workpiece. This kit addresses those challenges head-on by providing a matched set of four drive rolls and a guide tube specifically engineered for this wire gauge range.

This versatile kit is compatible with both solid and cored wires, making it a go-to solution for diverse welding applications. The drive rolls feature precision-machined grooves that grip the wire firmly without crushing it. This is particularly important for flux-cored wires, which are tubular and can be easily deformed by aggressive feed rolls, leading to feeding issues inside the contact tip. By utilizing a 4-roll system, the feeder can move heavy wire over long distances with less motor strain and greater consistency, ensuring that the wire speed you set is the wire speed you get at the arc.

Installation is straightforward, allowing operators to switch configurations quickly and get back to work. The included guide tube is a critical, often overlooked component that prevents the wire from wandering as it enters the drive assembly. By keeping the wire centered, the guide tube prevents shaving—where small metal flakes are scraped off the wire—which can clog liners and contact tips. This attention to detail in the design phase translates to lower maintenance requirements and fewer interruptions during long welds.

Whether you are repairing heavy machinery, fabricating structural components, or working in a high-production manufacturing cell, consistency is key. The Lincoln KP1505-068 Drive Roll Kit offers the durability and precision required for professional results. Don't let poor feeding compromise your welds; equip your machine with the correct OEM parts designed to handle the demands of .068-.072 inch wire welding. This package includes four rolls and the necessary guide tube, providing a complete overhaul for your wire drive system.
