I'm looking at some used wire EDM machines, and the Fanuc tape cut W0 W1 and W2 machines seem to be fairly common and could easily handle the parts I have in mind.

Would one of these be a reasonable choice for a first wire EDM?
Or am I out of luck at the first issue that occurs due to lack of support and parts?

Also does around 1 Tonne sound about right for the weight of a W0? I've seen a huge range of weights quoted.

Cheers
 
I have a Tapecut model M which I have at home in my hobby workshop. Easy enough to work on if you have basic n
Mechanical and electronic skills. Mine was a basket case which I rebuilt. It's one step earlier than the ones you mention but very similar
