Who uses the FS 310 PS and for what
The Bernardo FS 310 PS is the 310 mm combined planer from the FS family with a spiral cutterblock: positioned between the AD 310 S (295 kg, heavier structure) and lower-end spiral planers. At 205 kg, it is more manageable than the AD 310 S while offering the most generous thicknessing height in the 310 mm range: 240 mm compared to the AD 310 S's 225 mm. The 4,500 rpm cutterblock with 30 TCT inserts produces a high-frequency cut with superior finish quality. The standard digital display for the thicknessing table allows for setting and replicating thicknesses with millimeter precision. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by furniture makers and joiners who regularly work with tall pieces (up to 240 mm) and want TCT to reduce maintenance.
FS 310 PS vs AD 310 S: two 310 mm approaches with TCT
The two machines offer the same width (310 mm) and TCT cutterblock, but with different features. The AD 310 S weighs 295 kg (more stable for heavy pieces), has 52 inserts on the Ø 95 mm cutterblock and a thicknessing height up to 225 mm. The FS 310 PS weighs 205 kg (more manageable), has 30 inserts on the Ø 75 mm cutterblock at 4,500 rpm (higher cutting frequency) and a thicknessing height up to 240 mm, the most generous parameter of the two. The choice depends on: very heavy pieces to work (AD 310 S with its mass is superior) or tall pieces up to 240 mm with operational lightness (FS 310 PS).

Who the Bernardo FS 310 PS – 400V is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Professional machine (205 kg, three-phase, digital display). Cost and features oriented towards continuous professional use. |
| Small carpentry / artisan (1-5 employees) |
Recommended |
310 mm, 240 mm thicknessing height (maximum in its category), TCT cutterblock, digital display: the most complete combination at this width in a manageable format (205 kg). |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Recommended |
For production of tall pieces up to 240 mm with the need to reproduce precise thicknesses (digital display) and minimal cutting edge maintenance (TCT). |
Not recommended for: workshops without a 400V three-phase system (also available in 230V version, check availability); pieces over 310 mm wide; those who do not require a thicknessing height over 225 mm (AD 310 S is sufficient and more stable).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the FS 310 PS have 30 inserts and the AD 310 S have 52?
The cutterblock of the FS 310 PS is Ø 75 mm (smaller than the Ø 95 mm of the AD 310 S): fewer inserts can be physically mounted in a helical arrangement on a smaller diameter cutterblock. The FS 310 PS compensates with a higher cutterblock speed (4,500 vs 4,300 rpm): the number of cuts per advanced cm remains comparable between the two models. There is no universally superior model: the AD 310 S is superior for heavy pieces requiring structural mass; the FS 310 PS is superior for thicknessing height (240 mm) and manageability (205 vs 295 kg).
Is the digital display included as standard or optional?
The digital display for thicknesser table adjustment is included as standard in the FS 310 PS, it is not an optional extra. It allows reading and setting the passage height with 0.1 mm precision and replicating previous settings without having to measure the workpiece. For joineries that produce series with repeated thicknesses (e.g., frames, calibrated battens), this feature significantly reduces setup times.
What is the maximum thicknessing width of the FS 310 PS?
The useful thicknessing width is 305 mm (slightly less than the 310 mm of the jointer). The maximum thicknessing height is 240 mm, the highest among 310 mm planers in the Bernardo catalog. For pieces with heights between 225 and 240 mm, the FS 310 PS is the only option in the 310 mm range; the AD 310 S stops at 225 mm.
Is it also available in a single-phase 230V version?
The FS 310 PS is available in both 400V three-phase and 230V single-phase versions. Contact Krollit to check the availability of the 230V version and the specifications of the single-phase version (motor power may differ slightly).
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,400 × 900 × 980 mm. At 205 kg, it is significantly more manageable than the AD 310 S (295 kg): it can be moved with a manual pallet truck on a flat floor. For workpiece handling, a clear space of at least 2.5 m in front and behind is needed.
