I was once told by a machinist (while changing the machine parameters and overriding some safety functions to make a part) that 0.005" of clearance might as well be a mile. He always ran rapids to 0.005" clearance and didn't seem to have problems. I did the same on the Mazak and never had issues. But it was also a brand new machine.
