053695 - Miller .030 V-Groove Drive Roll Kit

Product Overview

The Miller 053695 is a genuine OEM V-Groove Drive Roll designed specifically for feeding .030-inch (0.8 mm) solid welding wire. Manufactured by Miller Electric, this component is critical for maintaining the precise wire feed speeds required for high-quality MIG welding applications. The roll features a precision-machined V-groove that grips solid mild steel or stainless steel wire firmly without deforming the cross-section, ensuring smooth travel through the liner and contact tip.

Compatibility and Application

This drive roll is engineered for broad compatibility across the Miller industrial product line. It is a standard replacement part for many popular wire feeders and integrated MIG machines, including the Millermatic 200, 210, 212, 250, 251, 252, 300, and 350 series. It also fits external industrial feeders such as the S-22A, S-24A, S-32S, S-42GL, S-52A, and S-54A models. Proper selection of drive rolls based on wire diameter and type is essential for preventing feed issues and equipment wear.

Technical Specifications

Constructed from hardened steel, the 053695 drive roll offers excellent durability and resistance to wear, even in high-volume production environments. The V-groove design provides 2-point contact on the wire, which is the industry standard for hard wires. Using the correct size roll prevents the wire from slipping (if too loose) or being crushed (if the wrong groove shape is used), both of which can lead to erratic arcs and downtime.
