step-over distance
In order to machine a feature that is wider than the width of a single cut, the tool must make several cuts, stepping to the side after each one. This step-over distance is equal to the radial depth of cut for each cut and must be less than or equal to the tool diameter. The size of the step-over distance will determine the scallop height between each step.
