Is your MIG wire slipping, stuttering, or feeding inconsistently? The culprit is often a worn-out or incorrect drive roll. The ESAB/Tweco 171115-002 Drive Roll is the factory-correct replacement for welders running .035" (0.9mm) solid wire. This roll features a V-Groove design, which is the industry standard for feeding solid mild steel and stainless steel wires. The V-shape cradles the wire, providing necessary friction to push it through the torch cable without flattening it or creating metal shavings that can clog your liner.
This drive roll is a direct fit for popular multi-process machines, including the Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i, 211i, and 252i, as well as compatible ESAB models. Installing the correct drive roll is one of the easiest and most effective maintenance tasks you can perform. Using the wrong size or type (like a knurled roll on solid wire) can lead to feeding nightmares and poor weld quality. This .035" V-groove roll ensures your machine operates as intended, delivering a steady stream of wire for a smooth, consistent bead.
Don't let a small part cause big headaches in your shop. If you are switching wire sizes or simply noticing that your old rollers have lost their grip, swapping in a fresh 171115-002 is the solution. It installs in seconds and immediately improves the consistency of your wire feed speed. Keep your projects moving and your arc steady with genuine replacement parts designed for your specific machine.
