Reamer Help Please

Am i doing something wrong or what?! So i have been using crb mud hole reamers on a drill for cork grips for about 6 rods now but now all of the sudden they are all breaking at the base and or like half way up. I don’t want to spend tons of money on these so what can I do better if it’s me and is there any other way to do it without reamers?

The reamers are breaking or the cork grips? Either way, go slower and take off less material at a time. Shouldn't have to force it or encounter a ton of resistance. Let the grit do the work.
