OVERVIEW

Smooth Aluminum Welding Starts Here

Are you ready to tackle aluminum projects with your Millermatic? Don't let wire feeding headaches slow you down. The Miller .035 U-Groove Drive Roll Kit (044749) is the secret to frustration-free aluminum welding. If you have ever tried to push soft aluminum wire through standard V-groove rollers, you know the struggle: the wire gets crushed, shavings clog your liner, and eventually, the wire bunches up at the feeder, stopping your weld cold. This kit eliminates those problems by swapping your standard steel rollers for specialized U-groove rollers designed specifically for the job.

Why You Need U-Groove Rolls

Aluminum is soft. If you squeeze it too hard with standard rollers, it deforms. This kit features a U-shaped groove that cradles the wire, pushing it gently but firmly without changing its shape. This means consistent wire speed, a stable arc, and beautiful stacked-dime welds. Whether you are fixing a pontoon boat, fabricating aluminum signage, or working on automotive parts, consistent wire delivery is the most critical factor in weld quality. This kit upgrades your machine to handle .035" aluminum wire like a pro.

What's in the Box?

This isn't just a pair of wheels; it's a complete conversion kit for your drive assembly. You get:

  • Two U-Groove Drive Rolls: Sized perfectly for .035" (0.9mm) wire.
  • Inlet Wire Guide: A crucial component that aligns the wire before it hits the rollers, preventing snagging.

Installation is quick and tool-free on most machines, letting you switch between steel and aluminum setups in minutes.

Fits Your Favorite Miller Machines

One of the best things about this kit is its wide compatibility. If you own a classic Millermatic 200, 210, 250, 251, or the industry-standard Millermatic 252, this kit fits. It also works with the Millermatic 212, DVI, and Vintage models, as well as various external wire feeders like the 22A and SuitCase series. Don't settle for generic parts that might slip or wobble. Trust genuine Miller parts from Welders Supply to keep your arc burning hot and your wire feeding smooth.

FAQ

U-groove rolls are designed to cradle soft aluminum wire without crushing or deforming it, which prevents feeding issues and birdnesting common with V-groove rolls.

This kit is specifically designed for .035 inch (0.9 mm) welding wire.

Yes, the kit includes two drive rolls and one inlet wire guide.

Yes, this kit is fully compatible with the Millermatic 252 as well as the 200, 210, 212, 250, and 251 models.

It is not recommended. Steel wire is best driven by V-groove or knurled rolls for optimal traction. U-grooves are specifically for soft wires like aluminum.

This kit is designed for a 2-roll wire drive system.

V-groove rolls tend to bite into soft aluminum, causing deformation and shaving. These shavings can clog your liner, and the deformation often leads to burnback or birdnesting.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Electric OEM part, SKU 044749.
