Besides, how do you straighten a bent bar?
A press, log splitter, and/or groove in a stump all could work to straighten a bar. Putting the bar in a groove in a stump/tree and stand on it. Remember that the bar was probably bent by one guy leaning on it, or possibly a tree going over on it. Go slow, find the bend, and get it done.
Also, how can you tell if a chainsaw bar is bent? If your chainsaw continually cannot cut straight then your bar may be bent. The other way to tell if your bar is bent is to remove the bar from your chainsaw, then lay the bar on a flat surface to notice any bends. The bar should lay down completely flat, if not you may have a small bend.
Besides, can you flip a chainsaw bar?
Every chainsaw bar has been designed to be mounted right-side up or upside down. The reason for this is that it allows the user to extend the life of his chainsaw bar by 50%. Flipping the bar will give the heavily-used areas some relief from wear and tear. This reduces a chainsaw's ability to cut accurately.
