A continuous casting machine includes: a mold; a dummy bar curved at a uniform curvature in a longitudinal direction and configured to be inserted into the mold to receive molten steel when casting is started; guide rolls configured to guide, downward along a circular path, the dummy bar and a cast piece that have been drawn out of the mold, the circular path passing through the mold and having the curvature radius; a delivery portion configured to deliver, in a tangential direction of the circular path, the cast piece separated from the dummy bar at a bottom portion of the circular path; and a guide mechanism configured to allow the dummy bar separated from the cast piece to move along the circular path and configured to insert the dummy bar into the mold from above the mold. |
