Who uses the AD 260 S – 400V and for what
The Bernardo AD 260 S – 400V is the spiral cutterblock version of the AD 260 in a three-phase configuration: for those who already have a three-phase system in their workshop and are willing to invest slightly more than the standard AD 260 HSS to eliminate knife sharpening from routine maintenance. The 2.0 kW three-phase motor offers a smoother starting torque than the single-phase version, with lower absorption peaks on the power line. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by joinery shops that work long shifts on mixed woods, where the versatility of TCT inserts on any type of wood, from softwoods to hardwoods, reduces machine downtime for maintenance.
AD 260 S – 400V vs AD 260 S – 230V: when to choose three-phase
The two versions have identical technical specifications (same width, same cutterblock, same weight). The difference is exclusively in the power supply: the 400V three-phase offers more uniform motor torque under load and lower peak absorption, appreciable advantages in prolonged work cycles on hardwoods. For those with available three-phase power, the 400V is the natural choice; for those without three-phase power, the 230V is the corresponding version.

Who the Bernardo AD 260 S – 400V is for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Suitable | Requires a 400V three-phase system. For hobby use without three-phase, prefer the 230V version. The TCT cutterblock is also appreciated in occasional use due to almost no maintenance. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) | Recommended | For workshops with 400V three-phase that want to eliminate sharpening from their routine. On mixed woods, TCT offers consistent quality without adapting maintenance frequency to the type of wood. |
| Continuous / industrial production | Suitable | For intensive cycles, consider the ADM 260 S – 400V with superior construction. The AD 260 S – 400V is suitable for shifts up to 6-7 hours on medium woods. |
Not suitable for: workshops without a three-phase system (choose AD 260 S – 230V); pieces over 250 mm wide; intensive production on very hard woods over 7 hours/day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 400V version over the 230V?
With an available three-phase system, the 400V version offers more uniform motor torque under load, fewer cutterblock speed fluctuations during passes on hardwoods, and lower peak absorption on the line. In practice: less interference with other users of the system during startup, more linear performance in intensive work. If three-phase is not available, the 230V version is the only viable option.
Are the 24 TCT inserts on the AD 260 S the same as on the AD 310 S?
No. The AD 260 S uses a Ø 75 mm cutterblock with 24 TCT inserts; the AD 310 S uses a Ø 95 mm cutterblock with 52 TCT inserts. The inserts are not interchangeable between the two models. However, the geometry of the inserts is standardized: the TCT spare parts available from Krollit are compatible with the respective cutterblock of each model.
How is the maintenance of TCT inserts managed?
Each insert has 4 cutting edges. When the surface quality noticeably declines, the insert is rotated 90° with an hex key: a 2-minute operation, no special tools, no need for sharpening. Complete replacement of the insert occurs when all 4 cutting edges are worn out. With 24 inserts on the cutterblock, they are rarely replaced all at once: maintenance is progressive, insert by insert, without ever stopping production for an entire day.
Does the AD 260 S work well on MDF and panels with glue?
Yes, much better than HSS knives. The TCT carbide inserts resist the abrasive resins of MDF much longer than HSS high-speed steel. On MDF, the frequency of insert rotation may increase compared to solid wood, but it remains significantly lower than the frequency of HSS sharpening. For production mainly on MDF or particleboard, the version with a TCT spiral cutterblock is the correct choice.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,150 × 800 × 1,000 mm. For handling workpieces, at least 1.8 m of free space is needed in front and behind. At 173 kg, it can be moved with a manual pallet jack.
