Among woodworkers - and here I'm talking about those who work in fine joinery - the usual take is that if you think you're working to anything finer than 1/64", you're fooling yourself. Your material movement will, by itself, be greater than the tolerances you're aiming for.

For us metric folks, that is 0.4 mm (400 µm) which does seem to be very precise for wood. Good to know, I'm not a woodworker myself although the dream is alive.
