If you were to look up the definition of a miniature aluminum extrusion, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find it, even in the <\/span>Aluminum Association Standards and Data<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>the extrusion industry\u2019s largest and most comprehensive publication. Should one consult the publications\u2019 section 5 Terminology, you would find the definitions of \u201cMike Mark\u201d and \u201cMismatch\u201d but no entry or definition of Miniature Aluminum Extrusion. Delving further into the publication, section 11 is titled \u201cWire, Rod, Bar, Profiles \u2013 Extruded.\u201d The closest the publication comes to mentioning miniature extrusions is in Table 11.2 Cross Sectional Dimensional Tolerances, shown below. There we find \u201cprecision\u201d tolerances:\u00a0<\/span>
