Left handed rotary cutters
 
Are the rotary cutter brands like olfa designated as right/left handed or are they interchangeable?
Thank you

Due to a severe injury to my right arm, I now have to cut my fabric with my left hand. What I did was to change the blade to the opposite side of the cutter and it works great. Hope this helps.

Most of the rotary cutters I have can be used by right-handed or left-handed persons.

It's funny but I have never thought about it until now. My Fiskars have spots on both sides to put the blade, but I have always put the blade on the right, and I am left handed. I've never had any problems.

The only ones I know of that are 'handed' are the ergonomic ones, like the Martelli:

the olfa rotary cutters can be set to either side. i have one set up left handed for me, and one set up right handed for my girls.
