I've seen .002" per rev recommended elsewhere. But, because we're 
talking short travel that means a high start velocity and high 
acceleration. High start velocity can cause vibration which is a no-no 
especially when the bit is in the board and the Z axis is changing 
direction. The smaller the bit the more likely it'll fail.
