        Major Tech | FSB22 Flat Spade Bit 22mm | Hardened High-Grade Carbon Steel Hex Shank

        The Major Tech FSB22 is a 22mm flat spade bit for boring clean, accurate penetrations through timber. It is machined from hardened and ground high-grade carbon steel, incorporating a 3-point tip and cross cutter at the working end. The FSB22 runs a hex shank that suits most drills, and precision-ground angles minimise jamming in the cut.

        Running cable through timber framing means dozens of penetrations a day through studs, noggings and joists, usually overhead from a ladder. A spade bit that wanders off the mark or binds in the cut stalls the drill and consumes more labour than the penetration justifies. The 3-point tip with cross cutter on the FSB22 locates the bit accurately and severs the timber fibres before the flat cutting edge arrives. Precision-ground angles evacuate the waste continuously, so the bit maintains its feed instead of binding.

        22mm is the diameter electricians reach for on cable and conduit penetrations through timber framing, so the FSB22 effectively lives in the drill. The hardened and ground carbon steel retains its cutting edge across an entire rough-in rather than deteriorating halfway. The triangular shank engages the chuck jaws positively without spinning under load. A deep-etched size marking remains legible through accumulated dust and shavings.

        Features

        • 22mm hole size — bores a 22mm diameter hole, the size stamped on the blade and used to identify the FSB22 in a bit roll.
        • 3-point tip — a centre point with two spurs either side locates the bit on the mark and holds it there as the cut starts.
        • Cross cutter — scores the timber fibres ahead of the flat cutting edge, which is what keeps the entry and exit faces clean.
        • Hardened high-grade carbon steel — the blade is hardened and ground from high-grade carbon steel through its full profile.
        • Precision-ground angles — the cutting angles are ground to clear waste from the cut, which Major Tech specifies to minimise jamming.
        • Triangular shank profile — the three flats give the chuck jaws something to bite, so the FSB22 does not spin under load.
        • Hex shank — the hex form suits most drills, per Major Tech, so no dedicated chuck or adaptor is needed.
        • Deep-etched sizing — the size is etched into the blade rather than printed, so it stays readable long after a printed marking would wear off.
        • Part of a 16mm to 40mm range — the FSB range covers hole sizes from 16mm to 40mm, so one bit style spans a full set of framing hole sizes.
        • Timber boring only — the FSB22 is a wood-boring bit and is not rated for masonry, concrete, or steel.

        Where to use

        • Stud and nogging drilling — the FSB22 bores through studs and noggings on a cable rough-in, locating on the mark from its 3-point tip.
        • Ceiling joist and rafter runs — overhead holes through joists for lighting and power circuits where a clean exit face matters.
        • Bottom plates and bearers — floor plates and bearers drilled for cable drops into a subfloor or wall cavity.
        • Conduit and cable entries in timber — holes sized for conduit or bundled cable passing through framing members.
        • Cabinetry and fit-off work — timber carcasses and panels drilled for cable entry behind appliances and joinery.
        • New builds and renovation rough-ins — the FSB22 covers repeat 22mm holes across a full house rough-in on a single bit.

        The FSB22 is a timber-boring bit and carries no rating for masonry, concrete, tile, or steel. High-grade carbon steel is not high-speed steel, so it is unsuitable for the temperatures generated when drilling metal. Confirm the chuck accommodates the shank before use, since the FSB22 is supplied with a hex shank only.

        (FSB22)

        The FSB22 bores a 22mm diameter hole. The size is deep etched into the blade so it can be picked out of a bit roll quickly. The FSB range covers 16mm through to 40mm, including the FSB25 and FSB32.

        The bit uses a hex shank, which Major Tech states suits most drills. The triangular shank profile gives the chuck jaws a flat to grip, so the bit does not spin under load. Check the chuck capacity against the shank before use.

        The blade is hardened and ground high-grade carbon steel. Carbon steel takes a keen edge for timber work, but it is not high-speed steel, so it is not intended for drilling metal.

        The centre point and two spurs locate the bit on the mark and hold it there as the cut starts. The cross cutter scores the timber fibres ahead of the flat cutting edge, which is what keeps the entry and exit faces clean.

        Flat spade bits are wood-boring bits. The FSB22 is not rated for masonry, concrete, tile, or steel, and a masonry bit or hole saw suits those materials instead. Using it outside timber blunts the cutting edges quickly.

        Major Tech supplies the FSB range as single bits from 16mm to 40mm. Sparky Direct also lists the Major Tech MT26-FSB-PACK-3, a 32mm flat spade bit 5-pack. Check the hole diameter and pack size on the listing before ordering.
