Who uses the ADH 250 P – 230V and for what
The Bernardo ADH 250 P – 230V is the single-phase version of the ADH 250 P: same compact structure (148 kg), same HSS shaft, same format, in 230V configuration for installation without three-phase power. Compared to the AD 260 – 230V (173 kg, 2.0 kW), the ADH 250 P – 230V is 25 kg lighter and has a smaller motor (1.5 kW): suitable for intermittent use and workshops with limited needs, with the advantage of greater compactness. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is the first professional combined planer for those starting a single-phase business with a limited budget and space.
ADH 250 P – 230V vs AD 260 – 230V: when to choose the lighter one
Same width (250 mm), same power supply (230V). The ADH 250 P – 230V weighs 148 kg (vs 173 kg) and has a 1.5 kW motor (vs 2.0 kW): more maneuverable, less powerful. The AD 260 – 230V with 2.0 kW better handles prolonged cycles on hardwoods. The choice depends on the intensity of use: for intermittent use (2-4 hours/day) the ADH 250 P is sufficient; for more intensive daily professional use, the AD 260 – 230V is more suitable.

Who the Bernardo ADH 250 P – 230V is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Suitable |
Single-phase 230V, 148 kg, 250 mm: suitable for intensive hobby use. The grooved infeed roller improves feed quality compared to entry-level planers. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Suitable |
For workshops without three-phase power with moderate planing needs (2-4 hours/day). For more intensive use, consider the AD 260 – 230V with a 2.0 kW motor. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Not suitable |
The 1.5 kW single-phase motor is not suitable for industrial cycles. Consider the three-phase AD or ADM range. |
Not suitable for: those with three-phase power available (consider ADH 250 P – 400V); intensive production on hardwoods for more than 3-4 hours/day; pieces over 250 mm wide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grooved roller and the rubberized roller?
The grooved (toothed) infeed roller offers a more secure grip on the workpiece during feeding, reducing slippage on resinous wood or uneven surfaces. The rubberized outfeed roller prevents marking on the already planed surface, which would otherwise be scratched by a metal roller. The combination of the two rollers improves the quality of the result compared to machines with both smooth steel rollers, a constructive feature of the ADH not present on all entry-level planers in the Bernardo range.
What is the difference between ADH 250 P – 230V and ADH 250 P – 400V?
Identical construction specifications. The difference is exclusively in the power supply: single-phase 230V vs three-phase 400V. If three-phase is available, the 400V version is preferable; without three-phase, the 230V is the only viable option.
Can the 1.5 kW motor handle hardwoods like oak?
With limitations. For oak or ash, it is recommended to reduce the depth of cut to 0.5-1 mm and take breaks every 30-45 minutes to prevent the motor from overheating. For intensive work on hardwoods for more than 3-4 hours/day, consider the AD 260 – 230V with a 2.0 kW motor, which is better sized for this use.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,100 × 750 × 1,010 mm. At 148 kg, it can be moved with a manual pallet truck. For workpiece handling, a clear space of at least 1.8 m in front and behind is required.
How do you switch from jointer to thicknesser?
The tables flip up via a hinge, exposing the thicknesser table. The 2 included handles facilitate manual flipping. The operation takes approximately 30-60 seconds without tools. The Ø 100 mm dust extraction hood remains connected in both working modes.
