Drive roll for SP-180T

admin

I have a SP-180T and it came with drive rolls for both .025 and .035 MIG wire, however, I want to run .030 wire.  I am having a hard time finding that part on any online stores and I really don't have a LWS around here (Airgas is about 45 minutes away).  Does anybody know the part # and where I could find it online?  I'm assuming I do need an .030 drive to run the .030 wire....Thanks,Dan.

Reply:That's what I initially thought, but the engraving on the smooth drive reads ".025."  I'll give it a shot with the .030 wire.Thanks Broc.
Reply:The OM  that came with my PM 180C that I purchased 2 -3 years ago states to use the .035 drive roll for an .030 wire.  The OM that came with the PM 180C that work purchased within the last year states to use the .025 drive roll for an .030 wire. I've never experienced any feeding issues running .030 wire with the .035 drive roll. I have however, had a few feeding issues running .030 wire with the .025 drive roll.ESAB Migmaster 250 Hobart Ironman 230Multimatic 215TWECO Fabricator 181i & 211iHH125EZ - nice little fluxcore only unitMaxstar 150 STH - very nice
Reply:RTFM.  Part number KP2529-1, smooth drive roll for 0.025/0.030 wire.Optionally, as Dan stated, use the KP2539-2, smooth drive roll for 0.035 wire.  The best laid schemes ... Gang oft agley ...
