Who uses the CU 310 F – 2600 and for what
The Bernardo CU 310 F – 2600 is a planer thicknesser with a sliding table — it combines a jointer, a thicknesser, and a circular saw with a sliding table. With a width of 310 mm, it covers the mid-to-high professional range of solid wood processing: jointing and thicknessing, 90° and 45° sawing, squaring with a sliding table. The motor with dual power class S1/S6 (2.8/3.9 kW) ensures continuous operation even on hardwoods. Features a sliding table for precise squaring up to 2,600 mm. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is used by carpenters, window and door manufacturers, and wood craftsmen looking for a versatile machine in a compact space.
Who is the Bernardo CU 310 F – 2600 for?
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Requires 400V three-phase power. For hobby use, consider single-phase models. |
| Carpentry / wood craftsman |
Ideal |
310 mm planer + thicknesser + saw in a single machine: the solution for those with limited space who want to cover main solid wood processing tasks. |
| Intense industrial production |
Not recommended |
For high-volume wood production, separate dedicated machines (standalone planer + standalone saw) are preferred for faster cycles and independent maintenance. |
Not recommended for: pieces over 310 mm wide (planer) or beyond the saw table; intense industrial production; woods beyond the 4 mm cutting depth capacity.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a jointer and a thicknesser in the combined machine?
The jointer (surface planer) straightens the surface of the workpiece — the wood is passed over the table to obtain a flat reference face. The thicknesser brings the workpiece to the desired height uniformly — the thickness is set, and the wood is automatically fed through the machine. In a combined machine, both functions use the same knife shaft: the function is changed by moving the workpiece to the correct table.
When should HSS knives be replaced or sharpened?
In professional use (4–6 hours/day) on medium woods, HSS knives require sharpening every 2–4 weeks. On hardwoods, every 1–2 weeks. Original Bernardo spare knife sets are available with 3–5 working days shipping. Alternatively, consider switching to a shaft with TCT inserts (almost no maintenance due to insert rotation).
How much space is needed in the workshop for the CU 310 F – 2600?
In addition to the physical footprint of the machine, consider the space for workpiece handling: at least the maximum length of the workpiece in front of and behind the planer, and the same distance on the sides of the saw. In practice, for a combined machine with a 1390 mm table, at least 3–4 m of clear space is needed on each side.
Is a dedicated dust extractor required?
Yes. Combined machines produce a significant amount of chips and sawdust. A dust extractor with a minimum flow rate of 600–800 m³/h and a Ø 100 mm connection is essential to maintain a clean and safe working environment. Bernardo offers compatible DC and FP dust extractors — contact Krollit for the correct configuration.
Can I switch to TCT knives on the existing shaft?
It depends on the model of the shaft installed. On some Bernardo combined machines, it is possible to replace the HSS knife shaft with a TCT spiral shaft (reversible inserts) which eliminates the need for sharpening. Contact Krollit to check compatibility with your specific CU 310 F – 2600.
