A starter bar for guiding and extracting cast strands of various thicknesses in continuous casting plants with arcuate guiding paths supporting the strands at opposite sides is comprised of pivotally connected link bodies arranged one behind the other. The bar has a thickness corresponding to the smallest or slightest thickness of the strands. Also, exchangeable locking pieces are provided between individual ones of the link bodies to assure that the starter bar is guided between the guiding paths without play. |
