The experimental results of the study focused on the effect of drying processes of modified air drying and warm air steam mixture drying of pine and beech wood on the size of sawdust particles created in cutting using PRW-15M sash gang saw, are presented in the paper. Particle size analysis of dry sawdust was performed using two methods—sieving method and laser diffraction analysis. The results showed that the drying process did not affect the general particle size distribution of the sawdust, but the content of very fine dust particles in beech wood sawdust is many times higher when the beech wood was dried in the warm air-steam mixture drying process and sawn at a feed per tooth of 0.105 mm.
