When you are out in the field or on the shop floor tackling a hardfacing job, the last thing you need is a wire feeder that jams or slips. The Lincoln Electric Drive Roll Kit for 7/64" hardfacing wire is the solution for welders who demand reliability from their equipment. This kit is designed to fit some of the most popular and rugged wire feeders in the industry, including the LN-25 and LN-7 series. If you are running large diameter 7/64-inch wire for buildup or overlay work, this kit ensures your machine delivers the wire smoothly and consistently, allowing you to focus on the puddle rather than troubleshooting the feeder.
Hardfacing wire presents unique challenges; it is often cored and can be softer or more brittle than standard solid MIG wire. Using standard V-groove rolls can crush the wire, leading to flaking flux, clogged liners, and poor arc starts. This Lincoln Electric kit features drive rolls specifically designed to handle the unique properties of hardfacing consumables. The geometry of the roll groove provides the necessary grip to push the heavy wire through the gun cable without deforming it. This results in a stable arc, reduced spatter, and a better-finished weld, which is critical when applying expensive hardfacing alloys.
This all-in-one kit simplifies your setup process. It includes not just the drive roll, but also the precise guide tube needed to align the wire correctly as it enters the drive mechanism. Proper alignment is crucial for preventing wear on the feeder inlet and ensuring the wire travels straight into the liner. By replacing both the roll and the guide tube simultaneously, you reset the feeding path to factory standards, eliminating play and misalignment that can develop over time with worn parts.
Welders know that the LN-25 and LN-7 feeders are built to last, and using genuine Lincoln parts helps keep them running like new. Whether you are working on earthmoving equipment, agricultural machinery, or mining gear, this drive roll kit is a small investment that pays off in reduced downtime and frustration. Don't compromise your project's timeline with generic parts that might not fit or perform correctly. Stick with the brand that built your machine and choose the Lincoln KP653-7/64H Drive Roll Kit for your heavy-duty wire feeding needs.
