Hard to look at, ideas?

Don't excessive bends create "memory" in the steel?

Hanging it on the wall is sure to cause bad memory's. Surely TM has plenty of experience in this realm, I would let him have a go at it. Lot of the old time shops straightened bars all the time, back when people fixed things instead of buying new.

Thomas has a great memory. Ask him.

I'd definitely give it a go trying to repair it, the fact it's made from 2 materials & not just steel as its a light bar maybe a problem.

If it's gonna be a long winter, @Struggle could cut it in half at the bend; trace the tail and RSN profiles on the cut ends; cut those out with a Dremel tool, and end up with 2, short, lightweight bars!

Seriously, I have heard that the laminated bars are much harder to straighten than solid, milled bars. But you have little to lose. And if @tree monkey is offering to help . . .

I have t tried anything yet in it but also am agreeing that something could be done to fix it.

If it makes you feel any better, when I fu**** up with my 044 and the tree pinched the bar it pulled the whole saw into the tree and I had to get a new tank handle, top handle, etc. The chain cover is still cracked, that is how I know it is mine!

That said, I hope you are able to fix that bar.

As my Dad used to say, "Show me the guy who has never made a mistake and I'll show you the guy who does not get out of bed in the morning ... and he is making the biggest mistake of all."

Best of Luck with it.

I’d let tree monkey have a go. Like most have said what’s the worst that could happen? Then you’d have a straight half a bar to put in a vise for sharpening chain

Scott hasn’t done me wrong on all my saws he’s ported. Might have to see how he is at bar porting[emoji13]
