Last one I got with a bend in it had a dish or twist as well, could straighten one rail perfectly but the other was on the piss. Took me a while on the press to work out what was going on, most chainsaw bars don't have four sides that need to be straightened but then I worked out that I was confusing myself by turning the thing over several times to check the straightness and was swapping between the sides I was working on!

Slight twist at one end of the bend, too hard basket. Ended up chucking a light weight Jap bar on, way cheaper.
