Claim 1:
2. A training system for identifying one or more misaligned disks among a plurality of blade disks and straightening said one or more misaligned disks, wherein:
said training system comprises a training stand, a width, a length, a spacing measurement assembly, a training assembly, and a controller;
each among said 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, an outer edge and a center aperture diameter;
portions of said plurality of blade disks comprise said one or more misaligned disks and 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 a 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 a 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;
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;
said controller, for each among said plurality of blade disks, is configured for
receiving a measurement of a current separation distance of said outer edge between a current disk and an adjacent disk from said spacing measurement assembly, and
specifying whether said current disk comprises one among said one or more nominal disks or said one or more misaligned disks; and

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 said specified separation distance of said blade spacing specification, and
controlling said training assembly to correct said one or more misaligned disks according to said bend angle.
