Metal cutting in Tbilisi with Craftarea splits into two places: the address where we meet clients and spec the order, and the production floor where a fiber-laser CNC machine does the cutting. The address is 2 David Kipiani St., near Tsereteli metro — bring a sketch, a drawing or a metal sample and settle material, thickness and dimensions on the spot. We cut mild/carbon steel (also called iron colloquially), stainless steel — known in Georgian as ინოქსი, ნერჟავეიკა or უჟანგავი ფოლადი, all one material — plus aluminium, copper and brass. This page covers what a local order actually needs: hours, how fast a quote arrives, how long production runs, and how the finished part is collected. For the cutting process itself, see the laser cutting in Tbilisi page.

Where does metal cutting in Tbilisi happen — what address do I come to?
The address where we meet clients is 2 David Kipiani St., Tbilisi, near Tsereteli metro. This is where the order is specced: bring a sketch, a drawing or a metal sample and confirm material, thickness and dimensions on the spot. The cutting itself runs at our production facility on a fiber-laser CNC machine — so the address is the intake and agreement point, and cutting is a separate production stage. A visit is not required: an order can be placed entirely remotely by email at info@craftbox.ge, or by phone on +995 557 771 979.
What are the hours, and how fast does a quote arrive?
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 19:00. We are closed Saturday and Sunday, though a file emailed over the weekend is still received and processed on Monday. Once a file or sketch arrives, a quote is returned within 24 hours. After confirmation, production runs 1 to 5 business days — the exact figure depends on part count, thickness and contour complexity. Urgent jobs are assessed case by case: call to check whether your deadline can be accommodated before you commit to it.
- Hours: Mon-Fri, 10:00-19:00
- Quote: within 24 hours
- Production: 1-5 business days
- Urgent jobs: by arrangement, confirmed in advance
Which metals do you cut, and up to what thickness?
The fiber-laser CNC machine cuts mild/carbon steel — colloquially 'iron' in Georgian — up to roughly 10mm; stainless steel (inox) up to 6mm; aluminium up to 5mm; copper and brass up to 3mm. Positional tolerance is ±0.1mm. These are general ceilings rather than per-alloy figures; the full per-material thickness table sits on a dedicated page. Price is calculated as a formula — cutting length, material thickness and setup charge — and the exact figure comes back within 24 hours, because it depends entirely on your specific drawing.
- Mild/carbon steel (iron) — up to 10mm
- Stainless (inox) — up to 6mm
- Aluminium — up to 5mm
- Copper and brass — up to 3mm
What do you not do in-house?
Our machine does laser cutting and engraving only. We do not perform in-house: plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, press-brake bending, CNC milling, or lathe work. If your part needs bending, or a 20mm steel plate cut, our machine cannot do it — in that case we point you to a partner workshop, or explain how the drawing could be split so the part we can do runs with us. It is better to establish this when the order is placed than halfway through the lead time.
How do I collect a finished part in Tbilisi?
An order can start two ways: remotely, by emailing a DXF or DWG file, a PDF drawing, or a photo with measurements; or in person, by bringing a drawing or material to 2 David Kipiani St. The minimum order is 1 piece — a single part is accepted the same as a production run. A finished order is either handed over on-site during working hours, or sent by courier anywhere in Tbilisi. On-site pickup can be paid by cash or card. The full ordering process, from file to finished part, is covered on a dedicated page.
What if you are not in Tbilisi?
For clients outside Tbilisi the process is fully remote: the file goes by email, price and turnaround are set the same way, and the finished part is shipped by courier to Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi and other Georgian cities. No visit is needed — a DXF file or a photo with measurements is enough. Regional delivery times and terms are covered on a dedicated page. Russian-language enquiries for «резка металла в Тбилиси» refer to this same service and are handled identically.
