To provide a solid forging braiding machine having two spool groups holding strands for cycling on a round path around a rotation axis in reciprocal rotating directions and braiding a material braided at a braiding point.

In this braiding machine, a strand guiding member 48 crosses strands 32 and 37 to perform braiding (e.g. '2 over, -2 under') and is fitted on an almost linear or a slight curved guiding path 78 in transferable to the reverse direction or the front direction. The guiding path is connected to the strand guiding member and has an acute angle to a rotation axis 1 in the same as a lever 73 placed under control of a gear.mechanism 51 designed as elliptic gears 63 and 67 each having an eccentric bolt 69.
