The Crosscut Unit Saw
A crosscut unit saw, also known as a package saw, bunk saw or docking saw, is essentially a glorified chain saw—a modified child of the log bucking deck saws of yesteryear.
In the mid 1980’s, the formal introduction of the crosscut unit saw was made in North America. In 1988, a core group of Pacific Trail Manufacturing, Inc. employees first started manufacturing a .404 pitch deck saw with an arch to keep the saw bar steady through the cut. The modern domestic version of a crosscut unit saw was born.
Since then, crosscut unit saw design has matured into sophisticated machinery never thought of by the hard hewn loggers and saw-millers of the past. And, Pacific Trail Manufacturing, Inc. has been leading the design & production every step of the way.
