If you are running flux-cored wire through your Lincoln feeder, you know that traction is everything. The Lincoln Electric KP653-052C Drive Roll Kit is the upgrade your setup needs to handle .045 to .052 inch cored wire without the headache of constant slipping or crushing. We've all been there: you tighten the tension knob to stop the wire from slipping, and suddenly you've flattened the wire into an oval shape that jams in the contact tip. This kit solves that problem with its specialized knurled groove design.
The "teeth" on these knurled rolls grab the wire securely, allowing you to back off the tensioner. This means the wire stays round, feeds smoothly through the liner, and delivers a steady arc at the workpiece. Whether you are welding structural steel on a high-rise with an LN-25 or fabricating heavy parts in the shop with an LN-7, these rolls are built to keep you welding, not troubleshooting your feeder. The kit isn't just the rolls; it comes with the matching guide tubes you need to ensure the wire tracks perfectly from the spool to the gun.
Installation is straightforward and quick, getting you back under the hood in minutes. This kit is designed for the workhorses of the industry—the LN-25, LN-7, LN-23P, and others. These feeders are often used in tough environments where equipment takes a beating. Having fresh, sharp drive rolls is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to maintain your weld quality. Worn-out rolls lead to erratic feeding, which leads to porosity and bad beads. Don't let a cheap consumable ruin your weld.
This 2-roll kit is specifically for cored wires. If you are switching from solid wire to flux-core, you absolutely need to swap your V-groove rolls for these knurled ones. The difference in feed consistency is night and day. Keep a spare kit in your job box or tool crib so you are always ready to tackle heavy-duty fabrication jobs with confidence. With Lincoln Electric's quality manufacturing, you can trust these rolls to last through spool after spool of wire.
