axial depth of cut
The depth of the tool along its axis in the workpiece as it makes a cut. In turning, a facing operation has an axial depth of cut relative to the workpiece axis. A large axial 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 typically machined in several passes as the tool moves to the specified axial depth of cut for each pass.
