OVERVIEW

Genuine Lincoln Performance for Your MIG Welder

Don't let poor wire feeding ruin your welds or slow down your project. The Lincoln Electric KP1696-030S Drive Roll Kit is the genuine replacement part you need to keep your Lincoln MIG welder running like new. Designed for the popular Power MIG 215XT, Power MIG 255XT, and LF-72 feeders, this kit is tailored for welders running .023" to .030" solid wire. Whether you are working on thin auto body sheet metal or general fabrication, having the right drive rolls is the first step to a perfect bead.

Why choose genuine Lincoln parts? Because fit and finish matter. These V-groove drive rolls are crafted to grip solid wire firmly without crushing it, ensuring a steady feed rate that translates to a stable arc and reduced spatter. The kit also comes with a split wire guide, a small but mighty piece of hardware that prevents the dreaded bird nest tangles that can stop production in its tracks. When your wire feeds smoothly, you spend less time troubleshooting and more time welding.

Installation is quick and easy, allowing you to switch between wire sizes or replace worn-out rollers in minutes. If you've noticed your wire slipping or your arc sputtering despite good ground and settings, it might be time to check your drive rolls. Worn grooves lose their grip, but a fresh KP1696-030S kit brings back the traction you need. Invest in the longevity of your machine and the quality of your work with this essential drive roll kit from Welders Supply.
