It designed to simply machine front and back axial faces of the part and frequently it is the first operation that prepare surface of the workpiece for the following machining.

Parameters of this item depend on the active cycle type. By default it is Offset roughing so you can redefine Axial thickness, pass count and stocks etc. See documentation of exact cycle type to get more detailed info about parameters of each cycle.
