Who uses the ADM 300 V and for what
The Bernardo ADM 300 V is the advanced version of the ADM 300: it adds a variable feed speed from 1 to 10 m/min adjustable via a digital display, which allows the feed speed to be adapted to the type of wood, depth of cut, and required finish. For hardwoods or difficult grain, the speed is reduced to minimize tear-out and increase surface quality; for roughing softwoods, it is set to maximum to reduce processing time. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by furniture makers and window/door manufacturers who work with a wide variety of wood species, from pine to oak, and who value operational flexibility compared to a machine with fixed feed speed.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The ADM 300 V occupies the upper end of the ADM 300 family: same structure, same cutter block, same motor, but with the variable feed system as the main differentiator. Compared to the standard ADM 300 (fixed feed speed 6.6 m/min), the V is preferable for those who work with very different types of wood on the same day. For those who always work with the same type of wood with consistent passes, the standard ADM 300 is sufficient.

Who is the Bernardo ADM 300 V – 400V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Not recommended |
Heavy professional machine (280 kg, three-phase 400V) with advanced features not necessary for occasional use. |
| Small joinery / craftsman (1-5 employees) |
Recommended |
The variable feed is the main added value: it allows optimizing quality and productivity based on the type of wood processed during the day. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Recommended |
For productions with a variety of wood species and different finish requirements, the variable feed with digital display is a concrete quality control tool. |
Not suitable for: workshops without a three-phase 400V system; those who always work with the same type of wood with fixed parameters (standard ADM 300 is sufficient and less expensive); pieces wider than 305 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the concrete difference between fixed and variable feed?
With fixed feed (standard ADM 300: 6.6 m/min), the workpiece feed speed is constant regardless of the wood and depth of cut. With variable feed (ADM 300 V: 1–10 m/min), you can set 2-3 m/min for hard oak for a perfect finish, and increase to 8-10 m/min for roughing pine to maximize productivity. The digital display shows the set speed and allows you to reproduce the same settings for subsequent work.
Is the ADM 300 V also suitable for production on exotic woods?
Yes. The ability to reduce the feed to 1-2 m/min makes it suitable for dense exotic woods like teak (density ~680 kg/m³) or ipe (~1,000 kg/m³), where high speeds can cause fiber tear-out. With passes of 0.5-1 mm and slow feed, the ADM 300 V produces surface quality comparable to higher-end machines. Note: on siliceous woods like teak, HSS knife wear is accelerated; consider the version with a spiral cutter block and TCT inserts for intensive production on these materials.
How is the feed adjusted on the digital display?
The digital display is integrated into the machine's control panel and shows the current feed speed in m/min. Adjustment is done via a potentiometer or digital keypad (check the specific model's manual). The setting is retained even after the machine is switched off, allowing you to resume work with the previous parameters.
What is the difference between ADM 300 V and standard ADM 300?
The only difference is the feed system: variable 1–10 m/min with a digital display in the V version, fixed at 6.6 m/min in the standard version. Structure, cutter block, motor, dimensions, and weight are identical. The price of the V version is higher due to the electronic feed adjustment system.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,700 × 790 × 1,080 mm. For workpiece handling, a clear space of at least 2.5 m in front and behind is needed. The integrated trolley allows internal movement on a flat floor without additional equipment.
