Brand new band saw blade snapped mid-breakfast sausage run yesterday

I was about 30 pounds into breaking down a pork shoulder around 7am when that new blade just let go with a pop. Made a mess of the fat cap and scared the cat. I bought it from a local supplier up in Portland, cost me $45, and it had maybe 2 hours of use on it. Anybody else have bad luck with those thinner blades on bigger cuts or did I just get a dud?

Did you check the blade tension before that run?

Tension check? That blade was tighter than a nun's schedule.

My 18 dollar Home Depot blade snapped on the third sausage too, total junk.
