Wire electric discharge machine in which traveling direction of wire electrode is changed by lower roller arranged at lower portion of a workpiece, wire electrode is held and pulled by capstan roller and pinch roller, and electric power is supplied between wire electrode and workpiece while wire electrode is traveling so that workpiece is machined by electric discharge energy, capstan roller and pinch roller are arranged so that angle theta by which the traveling direction of wire electrode is changed by capstan roller and pinch roller, can be 0°<theta<90° directed upward with respect to traveling direction of wire electrode, direction of which is changed by lower roller. Breakage of wire electrode can be supressed. Feed of wire electrode can be automated. When wire cutter is used, entry of machining solution into wire cutter can be prevented. When wire cutter is not used, accommodation of used wire electrode can be enhanced.
