This would depend on which bit you are using and the type of carving (raster or vector). Not knowing for sure, but thinking the board moves along the X axis at about .015 per pass of the 1/16" carving bit.
Right, I should have mentioned that this if for raster carving with the 1/16" carving bit.

For the 1/16" carving bit, the step sizes are roughly:
Draft -> 0.010"
Normal -> 0.008"
Best -> 0.005"

Thank you for the information.

If I think of it, I'll grab my indicator from work and try it some time.
