Claim 10:
11. A method of training disks using a training system comprising:
with a controller having a program executed in one or more processors:
receiving a measurement of a current separation distance of an outer edge between a current disk and an adjacent disk from a spacing measurement assembly,
specifying whether said current disk comprises one among one or more nominal disks or one or more misaligned disks;

if said current disk is among said one or more misaligned disks, said controller is further configured for
calculating a bend angle to alter said current disk to match said current separation distance to a specified separation distance of a blade spacing specification
controlling a training assembly to correct said one or more misaligned disks according to said bend angle;

wherein, said training system comprises a training stand, a width, a length, said spacing measurement assembly, said training assembly, and said controller;
each among a plurality of blade disks comprise a blade disk having a body portion, a center aperture, a diameter, a plurality of punched teeth, a sharpened edge, a center point, said outer edge and a center aperture diameter;
portions of said plurality of blade disks comprises said one or more misaligned disks and said one or more nominal disks;
said plurality of blade disks comprise at least a first disk and a last disk;
each among said plurality of blade disks is attached to a mandrel along a center axis;
said one or more nominal disks conform to said blade spacing specification comprising
a total saw width between said first disk and said last disk,
a specified saw width, and
said outer edge of each disk among said plurality of blade disks spaced by said specified separation distance;

said training stand is configured to hold said mandrel having said plurality of blade disks;
said one or more nominal disks among said plurality of blade disks each comprise said outer edge being said specified separation distance from said outer edge of adjacent disks; and
said one or more misaligned disks among said plurality of blade disks each comprise a portion of said outer edge not being said specified separation distance from said outer edge of adjacent disks.
