ABSTRACT:
A wire electric discharge machining apparatus having a structure for supplying power to a wire electrode which prolongs the life of a power supply element and reduces manufacturing and running costs. A guide roller is driven by a small motor through a lead screw and guides the wire electrode above and/or below the power supply element, formed as a flat plate and driven in an oscillating direction perpendicular to a running direction of the wire electrode and parallel to a flat surface of the power supply element. A contact position of the wire electrode on the power supply element is varied over an area of a wide range, avoiding creation of a groove or the like, attributable to friction, in the power supply element and extending the life thereof.
