I've come to have doubts about any cards being cut with wires. I've looked occasionally for a cutter or press attachment that uses wires to cut and haven't found one.
It's possible, but some of this stuff lasts a very long time, and even if the machine has become obsolete the wire should be available. And I can't find that either.
