Don't dig.  When working inside, work a bit below center, so the bevel on the other side of the flute would be the first to contact wood if you dropped the handle a bit too much.  Grabbing air goes nowhere. 

You're not turning the edge up into the rotation, right?  Cutting downhill is always best.
