OVERVIEW

Precision Feeding for Heavy Fabrication

When you are welding with heavy 1/16-inch solid wire, consistent feeding is the backbone of a stable arc and a quality weld. The Lincoln Electric KP1505-1/16S Drive Roll Kit is designed to deliver exactly that. Whether you are working on cross-country pipelines, structural steel fabrication, or heavy equipment repair, this kit ensures that your wire feeder delivers wire smoothly and reliably, hour after hour. Slipping wire or erratic feeding speeds can lead to burn-backs, stuttering arcs, and frustrating downtime—issues that this premium 4-roll kit helps to eliminate.

Superior Grip with 4-Roll Design

The advantage of a 4-roll drive system, like those found on Lincoln's Power Feed and Flex Feed units, is the ability to feed wire over long distances and through complex torch configurations with minimal resistance. This kit includes four precision-machined rolls that grip the wire from top and bottom, doubling the contact area compared to standard 2-roll feeders. This allows you to use lower drive roll tension while still maintaining positive traction. For solid wire, this is crucial; it prevents the wire from being flattened or marked, ensuring it passes smoothly through the contact tip for excellent electrical conductivity and arc starting.

Built for the Toughest Jobs

This kit isn't just about the rolls; it's a complete solution that includes the guide tubes and feed plate necessary for a full setup change. If you are switching your machine over to run 1/16" solid wire for a specific job—be it armor plate welding, pressure vessel fabrication, or railcar manufacturing—this kit contains everything you need to get up and running quickly. The components are built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments, from the dust of a mining site to the heat of a foundry. By using genuine Lincoln Electric parts, you ensure that your equipment operates at peak efficiency, protecting your investment and keeping your production schedule on track.

Application Versatility

Welders across a vast range of industries rely on this specific configuration. From the high-precision requirements of robotics and hard automation with AutoDrive feeders to the rugged demands of offshore oil and gas construction, the KP1505-1/16S is a staple component. It supports the high-deposition rates associated with 1/16" wire, making it a key accessory for maximizing productivity in heavy-duty MIG and MAG welding applications.

FAQ

This kit is specifically designed for feeding 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) diameter wire.

The KP1505-1/16S is designed for Solid wire. Flux-cored wires typically require knurled drive rolls, whereas these are designed to grip solid wire without deforming it.

This kit fits Lincoln Electric 4-roll wire feeders, including models in the Power Feed®, Flex Feed®, and AutoDrive® series.

The package includes 4 drive rolls and the necessary guide tube/feed plate assembly for a complete setup.

A 4-roll system provides more surface area contact with the wire, allowing for better traction with less crushing force. This is particularly beneficial for heavier wires like 1/16" to ensure consistent feeding over longer distances.

No, this kit is generally intended for steel or stainless steel solid wires. Aluminum wire typically requires U-groove drive rolls to prevent shaving the soft metal.

Yes, it includes the guide tube/feed plate assembly required to guide the wire into and out of the drive rolls properly.

Yes, this is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, ensuring perfect fit and performance with your Lincoln equipment.
