Combined for Bernardo Wood | From €1,105

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a combination machine and individual machines?

The combination machine integrates 4-5 functions (jointer, planer, saw, shaper, mortiser) into a single machine that occupies 3-5 m². Individual machines offer superior performance for each function but require 10-15 m² and a 3-4× larger budget. The combination machine is suitable for small spaces and non-serial production.

What width planer do I need?

155mm (CWM 150): modeling and small parts only. 250mm (CWM 250 series, CU 260): general use, standard boards up to 24cm. 305-310mm (CU 310 series, CWM 310): wide panels, professional use. 405mm (CF 410): tables, kitchen countertops, bathroom tops.

Better 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase?

The scoring unit is indispensable if you work with laminates, veneered MDF, or coated panels: it scores the underside before the main cut, preventing chipping. Models with standard scoring unit: CWM 310 F-2000 (€5,526) and CF 410 F-2600 (€9,284).

Is the engraver needed? Which models include it?

What kind of dust collector is needed for a combination machine?

Entry-level 230V (CWM 150/250): chip extractors 400-600 m³/h. Professional 400V (CU 260, CWM 310, CU 310): 800-1200 m³/h. All models have a Ø100mm inlet and include a Y-connector for multiple suction points.

A woodworking multi-function machine combines the functions of jointer and planer, table saw, and router in a single machine. The main advantage is space: where 10-15 m² would be needed for separate machines, a multi-function machine occupies 3-5 m².

Entry-level models operate on 230V single-phase power: the CWM 150 (€1,105, 155mm planer) for hobbyists, the CWM 250 R and CWM 250 Top (€2,671-€3,037, 250mm planer) for artisans without three-phase power. Structures range from 49 to 310 kg, suitable for installation in a garage or basement.

The professional Bernardo range at 400V includes multi-function machines with sliding tables from 400mm to 2600mm, planers from 250mm to 405mm, and motors up to 3 kW. The CWM 310 F and CF 410 F models include a scoring saw for chip-free cuts on laminates.

All multi-function machines require connection to a dust collection system (minimum 400 m³/h for entry-level, 800-1200 m³/h for professional). For more information, consult our guide to the best multi-function machines 2026.
