“Setting time” . I’m not sure I understand. I doubt you mean time setting. I did an unsuccessful search. Perhaps you are referring to the time it takes before it turns itself off? If so, I’m pretty sure it stays on. I can’t recall it having a time out. It has a really good rechargeable battery though.
Maybe there will be a second hand for sale with all the businesses closing down. Anyway here are some others that might lead you to something you can justify.
No need to be racist. The more time passes, more things get made in China, unfortunately, but you have to move with the times. Japan is doing other things these days. Here are some ebay links. I paid $170. No more battery replacements and less time faffing around questioning my tools.
I fashioned up a cradle for some magnetic-ness for the ceramic hones that works both sides.
Also you can use elastic bands to hold the hone steady while you make adjustments. Stretch elastic band from far left over other side of clamp to hold the right side hone up against the blade.
Get a good one. I use a Slope View TLL-90 (Dual-Axis Digital Protractor)
I milled pockets for stronger earth magnets. You can get them off ebay. Rechargeable too.
Angle cubes and the like are rubbish in comparison. It a bit thicker than a wicked edge hone, 3/4 the length and double the height. It’s back lit and you can even set it up to beep if it is passed the angle you desire. Got a lazer pointer too.
