A work-holding portion holds the work through a pad plate adhered to the work and a work plate, plate-shaped or block-shaped slurry-splash-blocking members are arranged in the direction of a right angle to a row of the wire wound around the grooved rollers below the work-holding portion and on both the wire cut-in side and a wire cut-out side.
