Molds for continuous casting machines are made by providing a plurality of different tubular blanks of copper or copper based alloys; selecting a particular blank and feeding same to a first working station in which the blank is provided with a thrust mount such as a rim against which a mandrel to be inserted can abut during subsequent working; a particular mandrel is selected from among a plurality of stored mandrels and forced into the rimmed tubular blank; by means of a die, the tubular blank is forced onto the mandrel in all around, tight, surface to surface contact while preferably a normal orientation of the die is maintained in relation to the mandrel passing through; thereafter the mandrel is recovered from the blank and either returned to the station of mandrel insertion or to the mandrel store.
