monitoring drilling acceleration

[stregoi]

Hello


i am working on a project, trying to monitor, the accelerating of a handdrill, while drilling ( and thus being able to register the slip when the drill go through the other edge of the wood panel ).
I was thinking about using an accelerometer or a linear potentiometer as a sensor to achieve that ? or a pressure sensor ? but is it precise enough to do the job, any idea og suggestion how to achieve that the best way ?.


Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
