My main band saw blade snapped mid-cut on a full pork loin yesterday.

It was a 1-inch carbon steel blade from a local supplier, only two weeks old. I had to stop the whole line for an hour while I swapped it out and checked the guides. Has anyone else had a problem with this brand lately?

Ugh, tell me about it. I had the same thing happen with a blade from them last month, cut my whole day in half. Maybe they changed something in the steel.

Man, it's not just blades. It's everything now. Karen_martin is right about the quality tanking. I bought a simple garden hose last year and it lasted a decade. The one I got this spring burst in two months. Same brand. Feels like companies are quietly making stuff worse so we have to buy it more often. It's exhausting.

Switch brands, that supplier's quality tanked.
