Feed Roll for Fabricator 252i

The Tweco W1004401 is a single bottom feed roll designed for the Fabricator 252i welder series. It handles solid wire up to 0.035 in diameter using a V-groove profile. The steel construction suits MIG welding (GMAW) applications in automotive and fabrication shops. This component ensures consistent wire delivery during production or repair work.

Replaces Worn Drive Rolls

Swap this roll when the existing drive roll shows groove wear that causes wire slip or bird-nesting. The upgrade is worth it when feed consistency drops on 0.035 in solid wire during extended MIG runs. It restores proper tension and tracking for the Fabricator 252i and compatible models W1004402 and W1004403. Worn rolls on flux-cored jobs are not addressed by this V-groove design.

Simple Drop-In Installation

Installation requires removing the old roll and seating this one on the drive shaft; no tools beyond basic hand tools are typically needed. The single-roll pack means the matching top roll must be sourced separately if both are worn. Misalignment occurs if the groove does not match the wire diameter exactly. Using this V-groove with flux-cored wire will cause feeding errors.

Questions about this item

What wire size does the 0.035 in V-groove feed roll accept?

The roll is rated for a maximum wire diameter of 0.035 in and is designed for solid wire in MIG welding applications.

How do I install the bottom feed roll on a Fabricator 252i welder?

Release the drive-roll tension arm, slide the old roll off the keyed shaft, align the new roll’s keyway, seat it fully, then re-engage the tension arm — forgetting to re-set tension is the common error.

When should I replace this steel V-groove drive roll?

Replace it when the groove shows visible wear, wire slips during feeding, or the roll surface becomes polished from extended MIG welding use.
