KP1696-1 - Lincoln Electric KP1696-1 V-Groove Drive Roll Kit for .035/.045 Solid Wire

Smooth Feeding for Your Lincoln Feeder

If you are running solid wire through your Lincoln LN-25 or Active8X feeder, the KP1696-1 Drive Roll Kit is the hardware you need to keep your welds consistent. Designed specifically for .035 and .045 solid wires, this kit takes the headache out of wire feeding. We all know that a slipping wire or a bird nest at the feeder can ruin a good bead and waste valuable time. These rolls are built to grip your wire firmly without chewing it up, ensuring a steady feed speed that lets you focus on the puddle, not the machine.

The kit features V-Groove drive rolls, which are the industry standard for mild steel and stainless steel solid wires. The V-shape cradles the wire, providing plenty of pushing power without flattening it out or shaving off the copper coating. This means less clogging in your liner and fewer contact tip changes down the road. Whether you are fabricating in the shop or repairing equipment in the field, reliable wire feeding is non-negotiable.

Installation is straightforward and quick. The kit comes with two drive rolls and a split wire guide. The wire guide is a game-changer—it supports the wire right up to the rolls, making it nearly impossible for the wire to buckle and tangle if you hit a snag. Don't settle for worn-out rollers that slip and stutter; upgrade to a fresh KP1696-1 kit and experience the difference that genuine Lincoln parts make in your daily welding operations.
