Morphology
The compound is a straightforward noun–noun composition: 'shaving' (small fragments removed) + 'cutter' (a tool that cuts) yields a tool that cuts/produces shavings. This follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g. 'paper cutter', 'wire cutter'), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer the general meaning.
Etymology
The noun shaving cutter shows a simple picture: shaving means cutting very thin slices and cutter is a tool that cuts. It 'shaves' tiny bits of metal away to make gear teeth smooth and exact, so the name now means a tool used to 'finish' gear surfaces by removing very small amounts of material.
