Since it's a volume, isn't rather 30k x 30k x 5k = 4.5 Gbit ?
(I ignored the toolholder parameter, I don't understand how to take it into a ccount)
;-}

Does anybody know how many bits of precision are used
on tombstones these days?

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
