Pandai besi yang terdapat di Cisaat mengalami penyusutan sejak periode tahun 1980. Penelitian ini mengkaji pola keruangan lokasi pandai besi di Kecamatan Cisaat berdasarkan variabel lokasi pandai besi, produksi, dan pasca produksi dari setiap pandai besi dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa secara umum sebaran lokasi pandai besi di Kecamatan Cisaat menunjukkan pola mengelompok dilihat dari jarak masing-masing titik yang berdekatan. Di dalam pola yang mengelompok ini terdapat perbedaan yang dilihat dari faktor produksi dan pasca produksi pandai besi. Berdasarkan faktor tersebut, maka pola keruangan pandai besi di kecamatan Cisaat secara detil terlihat variatif. Pandai besi yang memiliki komoditi, modal, tenaga kerja, jenis produk, jumlah produksi paling variatif dan usia usaha yang paling tua terdapat di wilayah yang dekat dengan pusat pertokoan industri logam.
