For the tape idea, you might consider taping on either side of the cut. It seems that cutting through the tape could introduce adhesive which might effect the test and could even get transferred to the blade.
"cut onto a pine board". Maybe put two boards next to each other and cut into the open space between them to avoid edge contact with the board. A pine board will roll an edge and eliminating blade contact with the board would remove that variable.
