Who uses the PT 260 – 400V and for what
The Bernardo PT 260 – 400V is a combined benchtop planer with an integrated dust collector: at 75 kg, it is the lightest in the 260 mm three-phase PT range, designed for those who do not have a fixed dust extraction system in their workshop and want a self-contained and portable machine. The integrated dust collector with bag is the main differentiator from other PT models: it eliminates the need for a separate dust collector, reducing the overall installation cost. The 6,700 rpm cutter block, the fastest in the PT range at this width, produces a high cutting frequency that translates into a superior surface finish compared to slower cutter blocks on machines of similar weight. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is used by itinerant craftsmen and small hobby workshops who move between job sites.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The PT 260 – 400V has a limited thicknessing height of 150 mm: the main limitation compared to the ADH 250 P (185 mm) and AD 260 (185 mm). For those who work exclusively with battens, mouldings, and thin boards, this is not a problem; for those who also work with pieces between 150 and 185 mm high, the PT 260 is not sufficient. The 230V version (PT 260 – 230V) has identical specifications and the same dust collector.

Who is the Bernardo PT 260 – 400V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Suitable |
Requires three-phase 400V. For hobby use without three-phase, prefer the 230V version. The integrated dust collector is a practical advantage in home workshops without a fixed system. |
| Small carpentry shop / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Suitable |
For working on pieces up to 150 mm high and 260 mm wide. The integrated dust collector reduces installation costs. For taller pieces, consider ADH 250 P or AD 260. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Not indicated |
The 1.6 kW motor and the 150 mm thicknessing limit are not suitable for industrial production. Consider the AD or ADM range. |
Not indicated for: pieces with a thicknessing height greater than 150 mm; intensive production on hardwoods for more than 4 hours/day; workshops looking for a main production machine (the PT 260 is sized for complementary use or intensive hobby use).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the integrated dust collector sufficient for professional use?
The integrated dust collector with bag is adequate for hobby and intermittent craft use. For continuous production exceeding 4 hours/day or for fine dust (MDF, resinous woods), an external industrial dust collector of 1,200-1,500 m³/h offers better extraction. The nozzle is Ø 80 mm: if connecting an external dust collector, a Ø 80-100 mm adapter is needed.
What is the limitation of the 150 mm thicknessing height?
The maximum thicknessing height is 150 mm. For working on standard battens, mouldings, boards, and panels, this measurement is sufficient. Pieces exceeding 150 mm in height, such as beams, structural pieces, and solid blocks, cannot be thicknessed on this machine. For heights up to 185 mm, consider the ADH 250 P – 400V; for heights up to 225 mm, the AD 310 – 400V.
Is the PT 260 – 400V the same as the PT 260 – 230V?
The technical specifications (width, cutter block, table, feed, dust collector, weight) are identical. The only difference is the power supply: 400V three-phase vs 230V single-phase. With three-phase available, the 400V version offers more uniform motor torque; without three-phase, the only practical option is the 230V.
How often should the 2 HSS knives be replaced?
With 2 HSS knives at 6,700 rpm in intermittent professional use (2-4 hours/day), sharpening is necessary every 2-4 weeks on softwoods, every 1-2 weeks on hardwoods. Original Bernardo replacement knives are available from Krollit stock with 3-5 working days shipping.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,050 × 650 × 1,050 mm, making it one of the most compact combined planers in the Bernardo catalog. At 75 kg, it can be moved by one person on a flat floor. For moving workpieces, a clear space of at least 1.5 m in front and behind is needed.
