Who uses the PT 200 ED and for what
The Bernardo PT 200 ED – 230V is the evolved version of the standard PT 200: same width (205 mm), same weight (28 kg), same cutter block at 8,500 rpm, but with a crucial advantage: a maximum thicknessing height of 210 mm, compared to 120 mm of the standard PT 200. This difference makes the PT 200 ED suitable for a much wider range of workpieces, including beams, structural pieces, and solid blocks up to 210 mm in height. The "ED" designation indicates precisely this extended depth capacity. At 28 kg, it remains the lightest and most portable combined planer/thicknesser in the Bernardo catalog.
PT 200 ED vs PT 200: the difference that matters
The only difference is the thicknessing height: 210 mm for the ED versus 120 mm for the standard version. Everything else - width, cutter block, motor, weight, dust extraction - is identical. For those who work with pieces up to 210 mm high, the PT 200 ED is necessary; for those who exclusively work with thin strips and boards (under 120 mm), the standard PT 200 is sufficient at a lower cost.

Who is the Bernardo PT 200 ED – 230V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Recommended |
28 kg, 230V, 210 mm thicknessing height: the most versatile portable combined planer/thicknesser in the Bernardo catalog. Can be used on a bench, stored, and transported in a car. |
| Small carpentry / artisan (1-5 employees) |
Adequate |
As a complementary machine for pieces up to 205 mm wide and 210 mm high. As a main machine for continuous production on hardwoods, it is undersized. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Not indicated |
The 1.5 kW motor and benchtop structure are not sized for industrial production. Consider the AD or ADM range. |
Not indicated for: pieces over 205 mm wide; intensive production on hardwoods for more than 2-3 hours/day; workshops seeking a main production machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PT 200 ED and standard PT 200?
The only difference is the thicknessing height: 210 mm for the ED versus 120 mm for the standard. Width (205 mm), cutter block, motor, weight (28 kg) and dust extraction (Ø 60 mm) are identical. The PT 200 ED is necessary for pieces with heights between 120 and 210 mm; for lower pieces, the standard is sufficient at a lower cost.
How can the PT 200 ED have a thicknessing height of 210 mm with only 28 kg?
The structure of the PT 200 ED is designed vertically to allow for greater passage height without increasing weight. The height adjustment mechanism is extended compared to the standard version. This makes the PT 200 ED proportionally taller than the standard PT 200 (550 mm vs 480 mm machine height), but with the same weight of 28 kg.
Can the 1.5 kW motor handle pieces up to 210 mm high?
The height of the workpiece does not directly affect the load on the motor; the width and depth of cut do. A piece 210 mm high but 100 mm wide is lighter to plane than a panel 200 mm wide. The 1.5 kW motor is adequate for cuts of 0.5-1.5 mm on medium woods regardless of the workpiece height.
Is a dedicated workbench required?
Yes. With a height of 550 mm, the PT 200 ED cannot be used on the floor. It must be placed on a stable workbench with a depth of at least 500 mm. At 28 kg, it can be moved alone without equipment.
Is it compatible with standard dust collectors?
The dust extraction port is Ø 60 mm, smaller than the standard Ø 100 mm. Compatible with domestic and light industrial dust collectors with a 60 mm hose or with adapters. For professional use, a Ø 60-100 mm adapter is needed to connect standard industrial dust collectors.
