When a single block without tool movement is commanded in the offset
mode, the vector and tool center path are the same as those when the block
is not commanded. This block is executed at the single block stop point.

Block N7 is executed here.
However, when the move distance is zero, even if the block is commanded
singly, tool motion becomes the same as that when more than one block
of without tool movement are commanded, which will be described
subsequently.

Two blocks without tool movement should not be commanded
consecutively. If commanded, a vector whose length is equal to the offset
value is produced in a normal direction to tool motion in earlier block, so
overcutting may result.
