However, in actuality, the plate member 11 has unevenness on the surface of the plate member 11 due to the manufacturing accuracy of the plate member 11 (this uneven surface is referred to as the uneven surface). Hereinafter referred to as “uneven surface”).
In the wire electric discharge machining of the plate material 11, the accuracy of the wire electric discharge machining can be increased as the total amount of displacement of the uneven surface of the plate material 11 with respect to the reference plane (hereinafter simply referred to as “displacement of the uneven surface of the plate material 11”) is reduced. Therefore, it is important to minimize the displacement of the plate 11 with respect to the reference plane.

Hereinafter, a method for reducing the displacement of the uneven surface of the plate 11 attached to the support base 12 with respect to the reference plane will be described.
(1) At least three level adjustment jigs (meaning that the total of the level adjustment jigs 10 and 50 is at least three) are provided on the support base 12, and at least one level adjustment jig has another level adjustment. Fix it so that it is not on the same straight line as the jig.
(2) The plate material 11 is sandwiched by the holding members of the at least three level adjusting jigs, and the plate material 11 is attached to the support base 12.

(3) Measure the displacement of the concavo-convex surface of the plate 11 with respect to the reference plane (horizontal plane in the present embodiment). Specifically, the position of the uneven surface of the plate material 11 is measured at a plurality of locations on the uneven surface of the plate material 11 using a dial gauge or a non-contact type distance meter, and the distance between the measured position and the reference plane is calculated. And the displacement of the uneven surface of the plate 11 is measured.
(4) Based on the measured displacement of the concavo-convex surface of the plate member 11 with respect to the reference plane, the screws 32 and 33 are rotated for all or a part of the level adjusting jig, and the through holes 29 at the tip of the screw 32 are rotated. And the projection length of the tip of the screw 33 from the screw hole 30 are adjusted to change the angle of the plate member 11 with respect to the support base 12.
(5) Again, the angle of the plate 11 with respect to the reference plane is measured.
(6) The above (4) and (5) are repeated to minimize the displacement of the uneven surface of the plate 11 with respect to the reference plane.

Then, after minimizing the displacement of the uneven surface of the plate 11 with respect to the reference plane, wire electric discharge machining is performed on the plate 11. When the processing of the plate material 11 is completed, the screws 37 of the level adjusting jigs 10 and 50 are loosened, the screws 24 and 25 are loosened, the presser plate 36 is moved backward, and the plate material 11 is removed from the plate material holding device 69. At this time, since the screws 24 and 25 and the presser plate 36 are attached to the plate material holder 23, the screws 24 and 25 and the presser plate are held before the new plate material is fixed to the support base 12. It is possible to avoid losing 36.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and all changes in conditions and the like that do not depart from the gist are within the scope of the present invention.
For example, the plate material processing method is not limited to wire electric discharge machining, and may be milling or lathe machining.
Further, when the support base is not provided with a long plate and is composed of four pedestals, the same level adjustment jig can be used.
