Who uses the FS 310 PS – 230V and for what
The Bernardo FS 310 PS – 230V is the single-phase version of the FS 310 PS: same operating specifications (310 mm, 30-insert TCT cutter block, 240 mm thicknessing height, digital display, 205 kg) in a 230V configuration for workshops without three-phase power. With a 3.0 kW single-phase motor, it is the most powerful combination planer with a TCT spiral cutter block available in single-phase at 310 mm in the Bernardo catalog. For those who want the triple combination of 310 mm width, TCT technology, and single-phase 230V, without compromising on any of the three parameters. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by joinery shops in non-industrial premises that work wide pieces with high quality requirements and want to eliminate sharpening from maintenance.
FS 310 PS – 230V vs FS 310 PS – 400V
Same operating specifications: 310 mm width, 30 HM TCT inserts, 240 mm thicknessing height, digital display, identical dimensions and weight. The only difference is the power supply. With three-phase available, the 400V version is always preferable for more uniform motor torque; without three-phase, the 230V is the only option at this level of performance and technology.

Who is the Bernardo FS 310 PS – 230V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Professional machine weighing 205 kg with a 3.0 kW motor. Dimensions geared towards professional use. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Recommended |
The most complete 310 mm combination planer with TCT available in single-phase: 240 mm thicknessing height, digital display, HM inserts without sharpening. For workshops without three-phase power that do not want to compromise. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Suitable |
The 3.0 kW single-phase motor can handle shifts of 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 PS – 400V); pieces over 310 mm wide; intensive production on hardwoods for more than 7 hours/day in single-phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FS 310 PS – 230V and FS 310 PS – 400V?
No constructive difference: same width, same TCT cutter block, same digital display, same dimensions and weight. The difference is only in the power supply: single-phase 230V vs three-phase 400V. With three-phase available, the 400V version is preferable for more uniform motor torque; without three-phase, the 230V is the necessary choice.
What is the difference between FS 310 PS – 230V and FS 310 P – 230V?
The FS 310 PS mounts 30 HM TCT inserts; the FS 310 P mounts 3 HSS knives. Structure, dimensions, digital display, and weight (205 kg) are identical. TCT offers reduced noise by approx. 50%, 10-20 times longer cutting edge life, and maintenance by insert rotation. The cost of the PS is higher; the maintenance savings recoup this in 12-18 months of professional use.
How often are the 30 HM inserts rotated?
In professional use (4-6 hours/day) on medium woods, one rotation per insert is necessary every 4-8 weeks. With 30 inserts, rotation is progressive. Complete replacement of an insert only occurs when all 4 cutting edges are worn out, every 4-8 months in professional use. Replacement inserts are available from Krollit stock.
Is the 240 mm thicknessing height the highest in single-phase at 310 mm?
Yes. Among the 310 mm combination planers in single-phase 230V configuration in the Bernardo catalog, the FS 310 PS – 230V and the FS 310 P – 230V share the record of 240 mm maximum thicknessing height, superior to the AD 310 (225 mm) and the PT 310 S (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 material handling, at least 2.5 m of clear space is needed in front and behind.
