A forming drum to be used in tire building for forming a strip-like belt member having a steel cord buried therein into an annular shape. The forming drum includes a plurality of segments divided in the circumferential direction and made of non-magnetic material, which form substantially cylindrical shapes having different outer diameters as moved in the radial direction, and permanent magnet are buried in the circular arc-shaped surfaces of the segments. Between adjacent segments are mounted cover plates made of non-magnetic material, and a cylindrical outer circumferential surface is formed by these cover plates. Each cover plate is fixedly secured to the circular arc-shaped surface of one of the adjacent segments.
