OVERVIEW

Maximize Your Aluminum Welding Performance

When it comes to MIG welding aluminum, the margin for error is slim. Aluminum wire is significantly softer than steel or stainless steel, making it prone to deformation, tangling, and shaving if not handled correctly by your wire feeder. The Lincoln Electric KP52079-040A Drive Roll Kit is the essential solution for welders working with .040-inch (1.0 mm) aluminum wire. Designed by the industry leaders at Lincoln Electric, this kit ensures that your wire is fed smoothly and consistently, eliminating common feeding issues that can ruin a weld or cause unnecessary downtime.

Using the correct drive rolls is critical for maintaining productivity. Standard knurled or V-groove rolls designed for hard wires can crush soft aluminum, leading to poor electrical contact and erratic arc characteristics. This genuine Lincoln Electric kit features drive rolls with a geometry specifically tailored to grip aluminum wire gently yet firmly, preserving its shape and integrity as it travels through the liner to the contact tip. Whether you are fabricating boat hulls, repairing automotive components, or working on custom aluminum projects, this drive roll kit is a small investment that yields significant improvements in weld quality.

Installation is straightforward, allowing you to switch between wire types quickly and get back to work. By choosing genuine Lincoln Electric parts, you are ensuring perfect compatibility with your equipment and long-lasting durability. Don't let feeding problems compromise your craftsmanship; equip your welder with the KP52079-040A and experience the difference that precision engineering makes in your daily operations.

FAQ

This kit is specifically designed for .040-inch (1.0 mm) welding wire.

No, these rolls are designed for aluminum. Steel wire typically requires V-groove or knurled rolls, whereas aluminum requires smooth U-groove rolls to prevent deformation.

Aluminum is soft and easily crushed. Special rolls (usually U-groove) grip the wire without changing its shape or shaving off metal, preventing feeding issues like birdnesting.

Yes, this is a genuine Lincoln Electric KP52079-040A Drive Roll Kit.

Using the wrong size can cause the wire to slip if the groove is too big, or be crushed if the groove is too small, leading to erratic feeding and poor weld quality.

The kit typically includes the necessary drive rolls for the specific wire size. Consult your machine's manual for installation procedures.

Drive rolls should be replaced when they show signs of wear, such as inability to grip the wire without excessive tension, or if the groove becomes damaged.

No, it fits specific Lincoln wire feeders compatible with the KP52079 series parts. Please check your welder's parts manual for compatibility.
