    Keith, Barry is correct, until you correct your measurement procedure you won't know for certain whether or not the saw is at fault. To visualize what he is saying think of zeroing the Wixey as actually leveling what it's setting on. So with the Wixey facing you on the one end of the saw as you show in one of your pictures zeroing it will be like leveling the saw from left to right. If the saw isn't level from front to back, when you rotate the Wixey the reading will not stay at zero. If you rotate the Wixey and zero it, then take the reading you should get the correct reading. You need to zero the Wixey with it perpendicular to the saw blade, (when looking down on the Wixey and saw) then take the reading.

    Ok Barry, I see what you are saying about rotating the box so it is parallel to the blade on the table now. I will give that a shot.
