AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


This vintage industrial drill from Scintilla SA (Switzerland) is a beautiful example of rugged, professional tooling from the mid-20th century. A machine built with durability and power as its starting point — far removed from modern plastic devices.

The drill is built with a solid aluminum housing, a metal gear box, and a classic worm-gear drill chuck with a T-key. It features a mechanical two-speed setting (1/2), typical for professional applications where torque is more important than high speeds.

The machine isn’t functioning at the moment and requires inspection or overhaul.

Visually, it is in beautiful, original vintage condition with an authentic patina and clear signs of use that perfectly match its age. Also particularly suitable as an industrial decorative object in a studio, workshop, loft, or man cave.

Professional model, circa 1940s–1960s.
A machine with character and history.
