K895-2 - Lincoln Electric Rotary Wire Dispenser for Accu-Trak and Speed-Feed Reels

Smooth Feeding for Professional Results

As a welder, you know that a consistent arc starts with consistent wire feeding. Nothing ruins a bead or interrupts your rhythm faster than a wire feed issue. When you step up to using bulk wire packages like Accu-Trak® or Speed-Feed® reels, the dynamics of wire delivery change. The Lincoln Electric K895-2 Rotary Wire Dispenser is the piece of hardware that bridges the gap between a heavy bulk reel and your wire feeder, ensuring that your wire delivery is as smooth as it is from a small spool.

The primary enemy of bulk wire feeding is inertia. When you release the trigger, a heavy reel wants to keep spinning. Without proper control, this leads to wire overrun—loops of loose wire that can tangle, kink, or snag, causing the dreaded "burnback" or a jammed liner. The K895-2 solves this with a precision-engineered brake mechanism. This brake eliminates overrun by stopping the rotation of the dispenser the instant you stop welding. This keeps tension on the wire constant, preventing slack that could lead to feeding problems down the line.

Installation is straightforward, designed to mount directly onto the reel assembly. Once in place, the rotary arm swings freely to follow the demand of your feeder, providing a low-friction path for the wire to enter the conduit. This reduction in drag is crucial for long conduit runs or complex boom setups. By ensuring the wire pays off smoothly from the drum, the K895-2 helps maintain consistent amperage and voltage at the contact tip, resulting in a more stable arc and higher quality welds.

Don't let bulk wire headaches slow you down. The K895-2 is built by Lincoln Electric to the same high standards as their power sources. It is a simple yet indispensable tool for any welder running high-volume wire. Whether you are pushing mild steel, stainless, or flux-cored wire from a drum, this dispenser ensures that the wire is there when you need it, and stops when you don't.
