No, and I'd be sort of scared to use one...

Won't a forstner bit work?

I need to drill a series of vent holes in the plywood soffit that was
recently replaced under my garage roof. I drilled the first couple with a
Forstner, but working overhead is kinda tough on my arthritic shoulders, I
was hoping a spade bit would make it go quicker and easier.

I've found that one of those saw tooth forstner bits are pretty fast on
something like plywood... lot less vibration than a spade bit, too.. the
vibration is what messes up my body..

I think I'd probably try a hole saw with a right angle drill.. easier on the
shoulder when you're working over head..

Also, it's a lot cheaper and easier to pay a neighborhood kid $20 to do the
grunt work and save your body for the fun stuff... *g*
