In turning and boring operations, a single-point tool cuts at a depth relative to the workpiece radius. A large radial depth of cut will require a low feed rate, or else it will result in a high load on the tool and reduce the tool life. Therefore, a feature is often machined in several steps as the tool moves over the step-over distance, and makes another cut at the radial depth of cut.

The cutting depth (ap): is the difference between the uncut and the cut surface in axial direction, it’s two-dimensional. Maximum ap is primarily limited by the insert size and machine power.

If the radial depth of cut is less than the tool radius, the tool is only partially engaged and is making a peripheral cut.
