    Hello Doug Flexi-shaft is very friendly with lefties....I find it
    difficult to understand your difficulties. Unless you are sitting on
    a right-hand person's bench? and so having your flex-shaft motor
    hanging on your right...? I'm left-handed, there are some difficulties
    with certain tools, but flex-shaft, hanging on your left side, and
    held with your left hand, should give u the same control as
    right-handed has. In case your flex-shaft is a general purpose  one
    [like Freedom] then it might takes  more getting used to. Or, perhaps
    you need a more fancy machine... meant for precision work....? Using a
    Micro-motor, is a much more flexible and precise option....no
    jerk-start, no limitation of working angle, minimal distance from
    bur tip, to the holding fingers.....and it leaves the lefties to
    their creativity.
