PSA: That 'bargain' band saw blade cost me a whole side of beef

I grabbed a cheap no-name blade online for $15 to save a few bucks on a big order... it snapped halfway through breaking down a 600-pound side, ruining the cut and wasting about $400 worth of meat. What's a reliable brand you guys actually trust for heavy breakdown work?

Snapped halfway through a 600-pound side... that's brutal.

Guess you learned the hard way that a cheap blade is just a meat shredder with extra steps. Saving fifteen bucks cost you a whole side, which is a pretty bad trade. Sometimes the bargain is the most expensive option.

Sounds like a blade problem, not a brand problem, sethhernandez.
