Learn more by watching our Major Tech FSB22 | 22mm Flat Spade Bit video.
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.
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.
