[Idiom] when you get right down to it

[English70]

I am student.
I'd like to know the meaning or other way to say this so i can better understand the meaning.

"I suppose that's what I'm doing, when you get right down to it; but then again...."

could it be ..."when you are talking about the main topic;"

I can post another question with more text if you need so.
thanks

Yes, it could be so. It depends on the context.
