Who uses the FS 310 P – 230V and for what
The Bernardo FS 310 P – 230V is identical to the 400V version in everything except the power supply: single-phase 230V instead of three-phase. With a 3.0 kW single-phase motor, it is the most powerful combined planer/thicknesser in a single-phase 310 mm configuration available in the Bernardo catalog. For workshops without a three-phase system that work with pieces up to 310 mm wide and 240 mm high with the need for a digital display, it is the only option at this width. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by woodworking shops in non-industrial premises, where three-phase power is not available, that work with doors, panels, and beams with precise thickness requirements.
FS 310 P – 230V vs FS 310 P – 400V: when to choose single-phase
Same operating specifications: 310 mm width, 240 mm thicknessing height, 4,500 rpm cutter block, digital display, identical dimensions and weight. The only difference is the power supply. Where three-phase is available, the 400V version is always preferable for more uniform motor torque. The 230V is only necessary for those who do not have three-phase and do not intend to install it.

Who is the Bernardo FS 310 P – 230V for?
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Professional machine weighing 205 kg with a 3.0 kW motor. Dimensions and features oriented towards professional use. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Recommended |
The most complete combined planer/thicknesser at 310 mm available in single-phase: 240 mm thicknessing height, digital display, 205 kg. For workshops without three-phase that do not want to compromise on width. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Adequate |
The 3.0 kW single-phase motor is suitable for shifts up to 6-7 hours on medium woods. For more intensive production with three-phase available, prefer the 400V version. |
Not recommended for: those with three-phase available (prefer FS 310 P – 400V); pieces over 310 mm wide; intensive production on hard woods over 7 hours/day in single-phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FS 310 P – 230V and FS 310 P – 400V?
No operational difference: same width, same cutter block, same weight, same digital display, same dimensions. The difference is exclusively in the power supply: single-phase 230V vs three-phase 400V. Where three-phase is available, the 400V version is always preferable; without three-phase, the 230V is the only option at this performance level.
Can a 3.0 kW single-phase motor handle professional use at 310 mm?
Yes, for shifts up to 6-7 hours on medium woods (cherry, walnut, pine). For hard woods (oak, ash), it is advisable to reduce the depth of cut to 1.5-2 mm to avoid overloading the motor. Peak absorption during start-up requires a dedicated line with a miniature circuit breaker of at least 20A.
Is the 240 mm thicknessing height the highest available at 310 mm in single-phase?
Yes. Among the 310 mm combined planer/thicknessers in the single-phase 230V Bernardo catalog, the FS 310 P – 230V and the FS 310 PS – 230V (version with spiral cutter block) share the record of 240 mm maximum thicknessing height, superior to the AD 310 (225 mm) and the PT 310 (180 mm).
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. For moving pieces, clear space of at least 2.5 m in front and behind is needed.
How often should the 3 HSS knives be replaced?
In professional use (4-6 hours/day), sharpening is necessary every 2-3 weeks on softwoods, every 1-2 weeks on hardwoods. Original Bernardo spare parts are available from Krollit stock with 3-5 business day shipping.
