0366966899 - ESAB U-Groove Drive Roll for 1.0mm-1.6mm Aluminum Wire

Smooth Aluminum Welding Starts Here

If you have ever wrestled with a bird-nest of aluminum wire at your feeder, you know the frustration of using the wrong drive rolls. The ESAB U-Groove Feed Roll (0366966899) is your solution for frustration-free aluminum welding. Designed specifically for soft wires like aluminum, this roll features a smooth U-shaped groove that cradles the wire rather than biting into it. This is crucial because aluminum is soft; if you use a standard V-groove roll designed for steel, the sharp edges will crush the wire, causing shavings that clog your liner and flat spots that get stuck in your contact tip.

This versatile roll is designed to handle common aluminum wire diameters, including 1.0mm, 1.2mm, and 1.6mm. Whether you are welding thin gauge aluminum sheet or heavier structural components, this roll ensures your wire feeds smoothly and consistently. Consistent feeding means a stable arc, less spatter, and better-looking beads. It also means you spend less time clearing jams and more time welding.

Installing the correct drive roll is one of the easiest ways to instantly improve your welding setup. This genuine ESAB part is built to last and fits perfectly into compatible ESAB feeders. Don't let poor feeding ruin your aluminum projects—switch to a U-groove roll and experience the difference in control and arc stability. It is an essential accessory for any welder tackling aluminum jobs, from automotive repair to boat building.
