Rolling Offset Calculation: Step-by-Step
A practical breakdown of rolling offsets and how to solve them quickly.
What is a rolling offset?
A rolling offset changes direction in two planes. The math is just two offsets combined, solved with right-triangle logic.
Simple workflow
Break it into two offsets, solve each travel, then find the diagonal.
- •Measure the two offsets
- •Use the Pythagorean theorem to get true offset
- •Calculate travel using your offset ratio
