Keep your Miller MIG welder running at peak efficiency with the Miller .045 V-Groove Drive Roll Kit (079596). When it comes to MIG welding, the wire feeder is the heart of the operation. If your drive rolls are worn out or incorrect for the wire type, you will experience slipping, erratic feeding, and poor weld quality. This kit is specifically engineered for .045-inch (1.2 mm) solid wire, making it the perfect choice for general fabrication, manufacturing, and heavy-duty repairs using mild steel or stainless steel wire.
The kit features V-Groove geometry, which is the industry standard for feeding hard, solid wires. The V-shape creates four points of contact (in a 2-roll system) that firmly grip the wire without crushing it. This is distinct from knurled rolls, which have teeth that dig into the wire and are meant for flux-cored applications. Using the correct V-Groove rolls prevents metal shavings from clogging your liner and ensures the wire retains its round shape for better electrical contact at the contact tip. The kit comes complete with two drive rolls and an inlet guide, giving you everything you need for a full changeover.
Designed for the professional welder, this kit is easy to install and fits a massive list of Miller machines. If you own a Millermatic 200, 210, 212, 250, 251, or the popular Millermatic 252, this is the correct kit for .045 solid wire. It also fits the Suitcase X-Treme and other Suitcase series feeders, making it ideal for field work where reliability is non-negotiable. Don't let worn drive rolls slow down your production. Fresh drive rolls ensure that your wire feed speed setting on the machine actually matches the wire being delivered to the gun, providing the consistency you need for high-quality welds.
At Welders Supply, we recommend keeping a spare drive roll kit on hand to minimize downtime. Worn rolls often manifest as intermittent feeding issues that can be hard to diagnose. By swapping in a fresh Miller 079596 kit, you eliminate variables and get back to welding with the smooth, "frying bacon" sound of a perfectly tuned MIG arc.
