I think the first one is okay, but it sounds better to say, “The cuts will be offset if you cut them with that bit.”
The second one should be, “Nothing can offset the damages that you’ve done.”

@HDGD The phrasing was a little off but the context was right.

In your second sentence, you treated “offset” as an intransitive verb (a verb without an object). To me, offset only works as a transitive verb (with an object). So you can offset the damages, but you can’t just offset.

The first one is fine. I gave you a way to make it even better, but what you said works, too.

@Kellyne so in conclusion the word OFFSET only works with objects or things not people or emotional things

Here is an example: “I offset the title slightly so it’s not quite centered. Should I fix it?”
