The "trick" is experience. ;>)
What material are you having a problem with ?
What is the feed and speed you are using ?
Have you thought about double drilling. I frequently do
this.
Are you sure your leaving enough material for the reamer to
clean up the hole with ?
You might also note that I frequently use a 3 jaw chuck.
Even if the reamer runs out a little it will follow a
drilled hole. With the crap tooling our shop has though, I
do frequently have to double drill and then ream to get what
I want.
Hope this provides a little food for thought and let us
know how you make out,
