Lincoln Knurled Wire Drive Roll Kit — Kp1885 Spool Feeding Accessory

Description

The Lincoln Electric Knurled Wire Drive Roll Kit — KP1885 provides precision wire feeding performance for FCAW and MCAW welding processes. Engineered to deliver consistent wire feed rates with minimal slippage or deformation, these drive roll kits are essential consumable components for Lincoln Electric wire feeders and multi-process welding systems operating with flux-cored and metal-cored wire requiring knurled drive.

Proper drive roll selection is critical for maintaining stable arc performance and minimizing wire feed irregularities that cause porosity or inconsistent deposition. The two SKUs cover different wire diameter ranges — select the kit that matches your electrode size. Both kits use a knurled groove geometry matched to the physical profile of flux-cored and metal-cored wire requiring knurled drive, ensuring positive grip without crushing tubular or cored electrode cross-sections.

Available Configurations

• KP1885-1 – Drive Roll Knurled 3/32-7/32 in (2.7-5.5 mm)
• KP1886-1 – Drive Roll Knurled 1/16-3/32 in (1.6-2.4 mm)

Key Features

• Knurled groove geometry engineered for positive grip on flux-cored and metal-cored wire requiring knurled drive
• Precision-machined drive roll surface minimizes wire deformation and feed irregularity
• Compatible with Lincoln Electric wire feeders and multi-process MIG platforms
• Durable steel construction resists wear under continuous production welding cycles
• Easy drop-in replacement maintains wire feed tension and alignment
• Two wire-diameter size options to match electrode selection for FCAW, MCAW, or GMAW applications

Applications

• Structural steel fabrication with FCAW-G or FCAW-S electrodes
• Heavy equipment and machinery manufacturing using metal-cored wire
• Shipbuilding and pressure vessel fabrication requiring consistent wire feed
• MIG welding maintenance and production shops running varied wire diameters
• Pipe fabrication with flux-cored or solid wire processes

Why Choose Lincoln Electric Lincoln Knurled Wire Drive Roll Kit

Lincoln Electric drive roll kits are precision-matched to Lincoln wire feeder mechanisms, ensuring reliable feed performance across the full amperage range of FCAW and GMAW applications. Selecting the correct wire diameter kit eliminates the arc instability and bird-nesting that result from mismatched drive roll geometry, protecting weld quality and reducing downtime on production and fabrication floors.
