0146025880 - ESAB Knurled Pressure Roll 0.8-1.6mm for Flux Cored Wire

Smooth Feeding for Tough Jobs

Every welder knows that a consistent arc starts with consistent wire feeding. If you are running flux-cored or metal-cored wire, you need a drive system that grips. The ESAB Knurled Pressure Roll (0146025880) is built exactly for that purpose. Designed to handle wire sizes from 0.8mm to 1.6mm, this roll features a textured, knurled surface that grabs onto the wire like tire treads on a road, ensuring it moves when you pull the trigger.

Slipping wire is the enemy of productivity. It causes burn-backs, stuttering arcs, and frustrating downtime while you reset your machine. Smooth rolls often just can't get enough purchase on the harder shell of flux-cored wires, or they require so much tension that they crush the wire, leading to feeding issues inside the liner. This knurled pressure roll solves that problem by providing positive traction with less crushing force. It keeps the wire round and moving, even through long torch cables or in out-of-position welding scenarios.

Whether you are fabricating structural steel, repairing heavy equipment, or working in a production line, reliability is key. This genuine ESAB part is made from durable steel that stands up to the daily grind of industrial welding. It covers a wide range of common wire sizes, meaning you don't have to swap out rolls every time you change from .035" to .045" wire, provided your drive setup is adjusted correctly.

Upgrade your feed system with the right components. Using the correct roll for your wire type is the cheapest insurance against bad welds. Install the ESAB Knurled Pressure Roll and experience the difference that positive wire grip makes to your weld puddle control and overall efficiency.
