Well that's good news. It was cloudy yesterday but actually rather warm. Too bad I was busy and inside most of the day.

Daugher was okay
and was able to walk a way from kissing the guardrail 
Unfortunately the Expedition is in intensive care and we are waiting to hear the prognosis.
From the Expedition's perspective this could be the Kiss of Death.
The Lord was merciful, there were no riders with her nor other vehicles involved. She did it to herself.
Now I can really trust her on the motorcycle, as previously she
'knew' the limits of the Expedition, and now she has discovered the limits of her talent. 
Interesting that the former dealer's shuttle car's airbags didn't go off
She took out the grill and bumper right back to the radiators across the entire front of the Expedition

That looks like a Rockler product....(?)
The saw edged Forstner bits are usually high quality enough to leave smooth edges, Most larger sizes have them because a continuous rim would produce too much friction and then start to swell in the hole.
(Ever wonder why large hole saws bind so badly? They are expanding in the hole due to the heat they create. Their large diameter means that even at slow rpm's the speed at the cutting edge is high)
About Forstner/Saw Tooth Bits - Lee Valley Tools
I believe you're thinking of a plumbers Self-Feed bit. And you're right, these will produce some tearout, especially on the exit side.
The lead screw also makes it difficult to control the depth unless your drill has a brake.
But a forstner style bit has a spur and not a screw at it's center.....
