    Doug, 	Reverse rotation will not work because none of the burs or
    drills will cut the threaded mandrels will unscrew the tapered
    spindles will not hold the buffs and for that matter the chucks  and
    handpieces will not stay together because they are all done with a
    right hand threads. The flex shaft its self would unwind as it is a
    right hand spring.  So I am afraid you will not have any luck in
    looking for left handed flexshafts it would require a total redesign
    of almost every item in the flexshaft ansd its accessories not to
    mention all the tooling used to make it.
