Etymology

Sheeter comes from the word sheet, which means a 'flat piece' like a bedsheet or a sheet of paper, plus -er, meaning 'one who does' or a device that does a job. So a sheeter is someone or something that makes or forms material into flat sheets, which is why bakeries and factories use a sheeter for dough, paper, or pastry.
