Tool for shaping metal or wood (5)
I believe the answer is:
lathe
'tool for shaping metal or wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "Turner's machine" , "Machine tool for shaping metal or wood" , "craftsman's machine" , "Machine for cutting, drilling or polishing" , "Rotating machine tool" .)
