KP4335-116A - Lincoln Electric 1/16 Aluminum Drive Roll Kit U-Groove

Optimize Your Aluminum Welding with Lincoln Electric Precision

The Lincoln Electric KP4335-116A Drive Roll Kit is an essential component for professional welders and fabricators working with aluminum. Designed specifically to handle the unique properties of soft aluminum wire, this kit features a precision-engineered U-Groove profile. Unlike standard V-groove rolls used for steel, which can crush or deform soft alloys, the U-groove cradles the 1/16-inch (1.58 mm) wire, maintaining its round shape and integrity as it passes through the feeder.

Consistent wire feeding is the backbone of high-quality MIG welding. When welding aluminum, even minor fluctuations in feed speed or wire deformation can lead to arc instability, burn-backs, or the frustrating "bird-nesting" of wire at the drive rolls. This genuine Lincoln Electric kit mitigates those risks by providing a smooth, low-friction path for the wire. The rolls are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly into compatible Lincoln Electric wire feeder systems, delivering the reliability you expect from an industry leader.

Whether you are working in marine fabrication, automotive repair, or industrial manufacturing, using the correct drive rolls is non-negotiable for achieving X-ray quality welds. The KP4335-116A kit is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while protecting your consumables. By preventing the shaving of aluminum wire—a common issue with improper drive rolls—this kit also helps keep your liner and contact tip free of debris, extending the life of your gun components and reducing downtime for maintenance.

Investing in genuine OEM parts like the KP4335-116A ensures that your equipment operates at peak performance. This kit is specifically calibrated for 1/16 inch (1.58 mm) wire, a common size for structural aluminum work where higher deposition rates are required.
