Abstract
A rotatable cutter may comprise a rotatable element, a stationary element, and a releasable interface. The releasable interface may be configured to substantially inhibit rotation of the rotatable element when the rotatable element and the stationary element are at least in partial contact. An earth-boring tool may include one or more rotatable elements.
