The purpose of this research is to know the effect of adhesive variation such as starch, used oil, coconut shell tar to the properties of sawdust briquette for instance volatile meter, ash content, fixed carbon content, water content, heating value, specific weight, and density. By composition 50% matrix and 50% adhesive, sawdust briquettes was made using a briquette pressing device with a pressure of 10 kg/cm2. The result of the analysis obtained that sawdust briquette with used oil as adhesive having better physical and mechanical properties compared by adhesive from starch and coconut shell tar.
