Who uses the PT 305 D – 400V and for what
The Bernardo PT 305 D – 400V is the 305 mm three-phase benchtop combination planer with integrated dust extractor: at 94 kg, it offers a 305 mm width in a significantly lighter format than professional cast iron planers of the same width (AD 310: 295 kg). The 8.5 m/min feed rate is among the fastest in the PT range. The "D" indicates the presence of an integrated dust extractor with a trolley included, the main differentiator from the standard PT 305. The thicknessing height of 160 mm is the main limitation: sufficient for most work on boards and panels, but not for tall beams. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by artisans who work with pieces up to 305 mm in three-phase without wanting to invest in a fixed dust extraction system.
PT 305 D vs PT 305 (standard): the difference
The D version adds an integrated dust extractor with a chip collection bag and a trolley for movement. Everything else—width, cutter block, motor, weight—is identical. The D is preferable for workshops without a fixed dust extraction system; the standard is for those who already have a dust extractor.

Who is the Bernardo PT 305 D – 400V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Suitable |
Requires three-phase 400V. For hobby use without three-phase, prefer the 230V version. The integrated dust extractor is a practical advantage in workshops without a fixed system. |
| Small joinery / artisan (1-5 emp.) |
Recommended |
305 mm with integrated dust extractor and trolley at 94 kg: the combination for those working with wide pieces without wanting to install fixed systems. For pieces taller than 160 mm, consider AD 310. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Not indicated |
The 1.8 kW motor and the 160 mm thicknessing limit are not suitable for continuous industrial production. Consider the AD or ADM range. |
Not indicated for: pieces with a height exceeding 160 mm; workshops without three-phase 400V (choose PT 305 D – 230V); intensive production on hardwoods for more than 4 hours/day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PT 305 D – 400V and PT 305 D – 230V?
Identical construction specifications. The difference is exclusively in the power supply: three-phase 400V vs single-phase 230V. With three-phase available, the 400V version is preferable for more uniform motor torque; without three-phase, the 230V is the only viable option.
Does the 160 mm thicknessing height significantly limit operations?
It depends on the pieces being worked. For battens, frames, boards, and panels up to 160 mm in height, the PT 305 D is sufficient and covers the vast majority of artisanal woodworking projects. For beams and structural pieces over 160 mm, it is necessary to consider the AD 310 (225 mm) or the FS 310 P (240 mm).
Does the PT 305 D – 400V include the trolley?
Yes. The D version includes the trolley for internal movement, which is one of the differentiators from the standard PT 305. At 94 kg, the trolley allows the machine to be moved around the workshop without additional equipment.
How often should the 2 HSS knives be sharpened?
In professional use (4-6 hours/day), sharpening is necessary every 2-4 weeks for softwoods, every 1-2 weeks for hardwoods. Original Bernardo replacement knives are available from Krollit stock with 3-5 business days shipping.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
At 94 kg, it can be moved with the included trolley on a level floor. For moving pieces, a clear space of at least 2 m in front and behind is needed. Contact Krollit for complete machine dimensions.
