0558102373 - ESAB .045" & 1/16" V-Groove Drive Roll Set (2-Pack)

Precision Wire Feeding with ESAB V-Groove Rolls

The ESAB 0558102373 Feed Roll Set is an essential component for maintaining the performance of your ESAB wire feeding system. Designed specifically for industrial welding applications, this set includes two precision-machined drive rolls featuring V-groove geometry. V-groove rolls are the industry standard for feeding solid "hard" wires, such as mild steel and stainless steel. Unlike knurled rolls which bite into the wire, or U-groove rolls designed for soft aluminum, the smooth V-shape of these rolls provides the necessary friction to push the wire through the liner and gun cable without deforming the wire surface or creating metal shavings that can clog your liner.

This specific set is versatile, accommodating two of the most common heavy-fabrication wire diameters: .045" (1.2mm) and 1/16" (1.6mm). Proper drive roll selection is critical for arc stability; using the wrong size or groove type can lead to erratic feeding, burn-backs, and increased downtime. By using genuine ESAB replacement parts, you ensure that the tolerances match your machine's drive mechanism perfectly, preventing alignment issues that cause premature wear on both the rolls and the wire guides.

Whether you are operating a Migmaster, MobileMaster, or compatible ESAB industrial feeder, replacing worn drive rolls is a simple maintenance step that yields immediate improvements in weld quality. Worn grooves can cause wire slippage, forcing operators to increase tension unnecessarily, which strains the feed motor. Install this fresh set of V-groove rolls to restore optimal traction and control in your welding operations.
