in WCS I left it on "nothing" because my drawing is set in a Z position that matches the table on my machine, ive been doing this for months and never had an issue.

 

I think you've missed my point so I will try to be more specific:

Right click on the scallop process called "[T1] Scallop2(3)" and choose "Edit" and then go to "Geometry".

I have chosen my Z and I have choose my X.

If you look on the Z surface I have chosen, the Z orients correctly just how I want it to tilt my table.

If you look on the X surface I have chosen, the X orients incorrectly because instead of moving the X arrow away from the surface I picked, it moves the Y axis to the side.

 

Imagine the CNC table in front of you. I want the Z axis pointing up as I have chosen (spindle axis up and down), I want the Y axis pointing forward (my table A axis have tilted 90degrees towards me with the part). I want the X axis up a bit on the surface I have chosen (C axis rotates a bit clockwise).
