Clogged bridgepin reamer

For fitting the bridgepins I use a reamer. Mine gets clogged quite easily. After making a few rounds I have to take it out for cleaning. It is no a big deal, cause the whole job is done in 10 minutes, but I asked myself if you have this issue too. And has someone solved the problem?

I've been using the reamer shown in this thread

For as long as I can remember -- never clogged, never cleaned -- lucky? I use it chucked in a drill motor.

Ken, do you ream before glueing? I am used to do it after the bridge is on.

After the bridge is assembled/glued and 3/16" holes are drilled through the top and bridge plate. I use "Original Titebond" for almost all joints.
