The holes are drilled or in hard materials made with a ram edm.

Threading the wire is not like threading a sewing machine you have a
0.2mm wire going through say a 3mm hole and the lower nozzle will be
smack against the bottom of the work for a pressure flushing system
perhaps further away for a submerged machine.

If the machine has a manual threading facility then that will be fine
if it has automatic then that's even better if you can work it.
