The experimental results of the study focused on the effect of drying processes of warm air drying at the temperature of 6580°C and warm air-steam mixture drying at the temperature of 105°C of pine and beech wood to the size of sawdust grains created by cutting using RPW 15M frame saw is presented in the paper. Particle size analysis of dry sawdust was performed using two methods - screening method and optical method based on image analysis obtained from a microscope. The results showed that the drying mode did not affect the particle size distribution of the pine sawdust, but sawdust from beech wood dried with steam mixture at 105°C was characterized by finer particles.
