I have successfully experimented with Proxxon Drill Stand. It has a well designed feed lever, which operates via ball bearing system and offers very sensitive feed. Smooth and reproducible blade feeding reduces the scatter of BESS readings.
For me, as a Tormeker, it is sometimes important the measure the sharpness while the blade is mounted in the knife jig. Alternatively the Proxxon Machine Vise can be bolted to the headstock with jaws facing the table.

Jan, that's so cool. I've been having a similar drill press idle on the next bench all the time, and kept struggling to take a neat BESS score not taking the knife out of the jig. Thank you!
