Claim:
A continuous casting mold, comprising: a mold plate which encloses a casting cross section and in which a plurality of cooling channels extend, the mold plate being connectable to a water box by screw elements formed from fastening bolts having a threaded shank which is screwable into first fastening threads located in said mold plate; wherein the first fastening threads are arranged such that their center longitudinal axes extend between two adjacent coolant channels of said plural cooling channels, a diameter of each threaded bore hole of the first fastening threads is greater than a distance between the two adjacent cooling channels such that the threaded bore hole extends through the two adjacent coolant channels of said plural cooling channels, and each threaded bore hole of the first fastening threads ends at a distance spaced apart from a floor of the plural cooling channels so as to define a screw-in depth of the fastening bolts.
