Abstract: The present invention is a low profile self-adhering drill having a feed mechanism having an axis of rotation, which is generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drill motor. The feed mechanism includes a quill housing which houses a quill. A spindle is disposed within the quill for holding the tool. The spindle is in engagement with the quill and rotates about the travel axis of the quill relative to the quill and is moveable along the axis with the quill. A rack on the quill is parallel to the travel axis and engages a feed gear such than when the feed gear is rotated the rack and quill move along the travel axis.
