Welding aluminum presents unique challenges, and one of the most frustrating issues is wire feeding. "Bird-nesting," where the wire tangles at the drive rolls, can bring production to a halt and waste expensive consumables. The solution starts with using the correct drive rolls. The Miller 079599 Drive Roll Kit is specifically engineered to solve the problems associated with feeding soft .047" (3/64") aluminum wire. Unlike standard V-groove rolls designed for hard steel, these U-groove rolls gently cradle the soft wire, providing positive traction without deforming or shaving the metal surface.
When aluminum wire is flattened by incorrect drive rolls, it changes shape and increases friction inside the gun liner. This friction leads to erratic feeding, burn-back at the contact tip, and ultimately, downtime. By upgrading to the Miller 079599 U-Groove Kit, you ensure that your wire remains round and smooth from the spool to the weld puddle. This kit includes everything you need to convert your machine's drive assembly: two precision-machined U-groove rolls and a matching inlet guide to align the wire perfectly.
Whether you are running a classic Millermatic 250 in the shop or a portable Suitcase feeder in the field, this kit is the key to reliable aluminum fabrication. It is compatible with a wide array of Miller's most popular machines, including the Millermatic 200, 210, 212, 251, and 252, as well as the DVI, Pulser, and Vintage models. It also fits dedicated feeders like the 22A, 32A, 52A, and the Reach series. Don't struggle with erratic arcs and wire jams; equip your welder with the right tools for the job. The 079599 kit is an affordable investment that pays for itself by reducing frustration and improving weld quality.
Installation is quick and easy, allowing you to switch between steel and aluminum setups in minutes. Remember to back off your tension settings when switching to these U-groove rolls to let the design do the work. With genuine Miller parts, you get the durability and precision your high-performance welding equipment deserves.
