Who uses the PT 260 – 230V and for what
The Bernardo PT 260 – 230V is identical to the 400V version in everything except the power supply: single-phase 230V instead of three-phase. It is the choice for those who want the advantages of the PT 260 – lightweight (75 kg), autonomous extraction, fast cutter block at 6,700 rpm – without the need for a three-phase system. It works with any 230V single-phase industrial socket, making it the easiest combined planer with integrated dust extractor to install in the Bernardo catalogue. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is used by restorers, itinerant artisans, and advanced hobbyists who want a complete and autonomous machine without investing in a dedicated electrical system.

Who is the Bernardo PT 260 – 230V for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Recommended |
Single-phase 230V, 75 kg, integrated dust extractor: the combined planer with the simplest possible setup. No three-phase system, no separate dust extractor. |
| Small joinery / artisan (1-5 employees) |
Adequate |
For working on battens and boards up to 150 mm high without a three-phase system. As a main machine for joinery with tall pieces, consider the ADM 260 – 230V. |
| Continuous / industrial production |
Not indicated |
The 1.6 kW single-phase motor and the 150 mm thickness limit are not suitable for continuous industrial production. |
Not suitable for: pieces with a height exceeding 150 mm; workshops with available three-phase systems (prefer the 400V version for higher motor torque); intensive production on hardwoods for more than 4 hours/day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect an external dust extractor to the PT 260 – 230V?
Yes. The dust extraction port is Ø 80 mm: with a Ø 80-100 mm adapter, an external industrial dust extractor can be connected in place of the integrated bag. This is useful for more intensive production where the bag requires frequent emptying, or for environments where centralized extraction is preferred.
What is the difference between PT 260 – 230V and ADM 260 – 230V?
The PT 260 – 230V weighs 75 kg, has an integrated dust extractor, a thicknessing height of up to 150 mm, and a cutter block at 6,700 rpm. The ADM 260 – 230V weighs 160 kg, does not have an integrated dust extractor, a thicknessing height of up to 190 mm, a cutter block at 3,750 rpm, and tables with noise-absorbing lips. The PT 260 is the choice for those who want lightness and autonomous extraction; the ADM 260 for those who want superior build quality and greater passage height.
How often should the chip collection bag be emptied?
It depends on usage. In jointer planing, the volume of chips produced is less than in thicknessing. In continuous professional use (4-6 hours/day), the bag should be emptied every 1-2 hours in thicknessing mode on softwoods, less frequently on hardwoods with shallow passes. The bag is removable without tools.
Does the PT 260 – 230V have a cast iron or aluminum table?
The tables are made of rectified aluminum, not cast iron like the AD and ADM versions. Rectified aluminum offers high-quality flatness and smooth sliding of pieces, with a structural weight lower than cast iron, contributing to the machine's total 75 kg. For intensive professional use, the cast iron tables of the AD/ADM versions offer greater vibrational stability; for hobby and artisan use, the aluminum tables of the PT 260 are adequate.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The machine footprint is 1,050 × 650 × 1,050 mm. At 75 kg, it can be moved by one person on a flat floor without equipment. For moving pieces, a free space of at least 1.5 m in front of and behind the machine is required.
