I just bought a used 462C Stihl and now find the 32" bar is slightly curved:
When the bar is laid flat on my table saw top(iron and flat) the tip angles up about 1/16" at the tip from the table top when I hold down the mount end.
I have not yet run the saw and am a bit worried this is a problem. My 362 and its 20" bar lay dead flat but I figure a long bar is a LOT more likely to not be as able to stay perfectly straight with use.
Your thoughts?
