Who uses the FS 310 P and for what
The Bernardo FS 310 P – 400V is the 310 mm combined planer from the FS family with HSS knives: it differs from the AD 310 in three specific features. The 240 mm thicknessing height is the highest in its 310 mm category with HSS knives, 15 mm above the AD 310 (225 mm) and 60 mm above the PT 310 (180 mm). The 0.1 mm digital display is included as standard, not as an option. The cutter block speed of 4,500 rpm (vs 4,300 for the AD 310) theoretically produces a better surface finish. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by cabinetmakers and window/door manufacturers who work with pieces up to 240 mm high and need to reproduce precise thicknesses using a display.
FS 310 P vs AD 310: same width, different features
The FS 310 P has a higher thicknessing height (240 vs 225 mm), a faster cutter block (4,500 vs 4,300 rpm), a digital display as standard, but weighs less (205 vs 295 kg) and has a shorter jointer table (1,400 vs 1,610 mm). The AD 310 weighs 90 kg more, offering greater stability for heavy workpieces, and has a longer table. The choice depends on: required thicknessing height (over 225 mm → FS 310 P), need for a digital display (→ FS 310 P), vs. heavy workpieces requiring structural mass (→ AD 310).

Who the Bernardo FS 310 P – 400V is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Professional machine (205 kg, three-phase, digital display). Dimensions and features oriented towards continuous professional use. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Recommended |
310 mm with 240 mm thicknessing height (maximum in HSS category), digital display for precise thicknesses, 205 kg more manageable than the AD 310 (295 kg). |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Recommended |
For production of pieces up to 240 mm high with thickness reproduction via display. To eliminate cutting edge maintenance, consider the FS 310 PS with a spiral cutter block. |
Not recommended for: workshops without 400V three-phase power; pieces over 310 mm wide; those working with heavy pieces that require the structural mass of the AD 310 (295 kg).

Frequently asked questions
Is the digital display with a 0.1 mm scale really useful in practice?
Yes, for those who produce series with repeated thicknesses. The display allows you to set a thickness, visually store it, and reproduce it in subsequent sessions without measuring the workpiece. For the production of frames, calibrated battens, or furniture components requiring tight tolerances (±0.2 mm), it significantly reduces setup times and the number of test passes. For those who always work with different pieces without repeated thicknesses, the display is useful but not essential.
Is the 240 mm thicknessing height really the highest for 310 mm HSS machines?
Yes, among the 310 mm combined planers with HSS knives in the Bernardo catalog, the FS 310 P and the FS 310 PS (version with spiral cutter block) share the record of 240 mm maximum thicknessing height. The AD 310 stops at 225 mm, the PT 310 at 180 mm. For pieces with a height between 225 and 240 mm, the FS 310 P is the only HSS 310 mm option.
What is the difference between FS 310 P and FS 310 PS?
The FS 310 P features 3 HSS knives on the Ø 75 mm cutter block. The FS 310 PS features 30 TCT inserts on the same cutter block. Structure, dimensions, weight, and digital display are identical. TCT offers reduced noise (approx. 50%) and 10-20 times longer cutting edge life. The cost of the FS 310 PS is higher; the savings in maintenance recover it in 12-18 months of professional use.
How often should the 3 HSS knives be replaced?
In professional use (4-6 hours/day), sharpening is necessary every 2-3 weeks for softwoods, every 1-2 weeks for hardwoods. Original Bernardo replacement knives are available from Krollit's warehouse with 3-5 business day shipping. The higher frequency compared to the AD 310 (4 knives vs 3) is compensated by the higher cutter block speed, which still produces good surface quality.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,400 × 900 × 980 mm. At 205 kg, it can be moved with a manual pallet jack on a flat floor, significantly easier to reposition than the AD 310 (295 kg). For workpiece handling, at least 2.5 m of clear space is needed in front and behind.
