No.

I'm definitely on the newbie side of homebrewing, but I have done my fair share of woodworking in the past. Drilling a pilot hole for a spade bit is going to cause you nothing but headaches... Just stick the point on your center dot and go for it. Spade bits do not need a pilot hole, if anything they just throw you off....
