The term 'Metal Shaper' refers to a skilled worker who uses tools such as a SMITH and a LATHE to shape metal into desired shapes. A SMITH is a person who works with metal, usually by forging it with tools such as hammers and anvils. A LATHE is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece on its axis in order to shape it with cutting tools. Metal shapers use these tools to create parts for machines, tools, and other objects.
