Most tombstones are engraved with CNC machines and while I have yet
to see a company advertise it as a competitive parameter, your vital
lack of stats will be engraved with better than 1/50mm precision.
On one picture I saw at cnczone.com they used approx 10 different
diamondcrusted bits.
Estimating bitcounts we find:
X-axis ~30k [60cm / 1/50mm]
Y-axis ~30k [60cm / 1/50mm]
Z-axis ~5k [10cm / 1/50mm]
Toolholder ~10 [visual estimate]
-----------------------------------------
Total ~65k bits
