This is one of the most commonly used machining processes. The part is rotated while a single point cutting tool is moved parallel to the axis of rotation following the contour of the geometry. Finishing can be done on the external surface of the part (OD, Face) as well as internally (boring). You can define offsets so that the tool makes multiple passes relative to the regions. Finishing is typically done after a Roughing operation, or it can be used alone. See Turn Finishing for cut parameters.
