Hi I bought the 300dd you do not need sight because the set up arms grab the drill in the set up port and as long as you have the drill pushed in and turn it to lock then it is in the correct position to tighten the chuck before removing You then put it into the cutting port and turn it to the top of the cam action and rotate it around an even number of turns It all depends on whether the drill is blunt or broken off as to how many turns is required before a cutting edge is obtained. I have had no problems sharpening twist drills I will today however have a go at sharpening my masonry drills this evolves turning the drill into a 2 o'clock position before sharpening. It says that the diamond wheel will give you 200 sharpening before you need to end for end it or if the diamond surface becomes smooth or before abuse of the wheel needs you to replace it. I do not know how much the diamond wheel cost but my guess is expensive.
