Taking my own advice *blush* and checking the archives, I found a note from
Allen asking this a couple years ago. He got 2 responses:
Half a thousandth. 0005"
and
0.001"
Digging further he asked again a year later ;) and got:
0.01 - 0.02 mm (0.004 - 0.008 inch)
I did mind a Marshall comment in there but it was just chiding somebody for not
using a dial indicator, he didn't give an actual number.
Anyway, looks like my memory of 0.006 is good enough. I'm off to give it a shot!

As in the attached picture.
