# A ''transmission and clutch setup'' (optional) can be used as a temporary brake or to separate the helve hammer from the rest of the power train. The transmission needs to be placed between the helve hammer toggle and the power input, functioning as an interrupted axle. The clutch can then be placed on its side - only when the clutch is engaged with a right click will the transmission actually transfer power. This setup is especially helpful when working with low power input or a complicated power train, as it allows to disengage the power-intensive helve hammer from the rest of the train if needed. | # A ''transmission and clutch setup'' (optional) can be used as a temporary brake or to separate the helve hammer from the rest of the power train.

* '''Material Input:''' Blooms | * '''Material Input:''' Blooms or ingots need to be placed by hand on top of an anvil placed under the helve hammer's head. They need to be heated to the appropriate temperature, just as if smithing by hand - however, with high wind power, the helve hammer will potentially take less time then manual smithing would. | ||
* '''Material Output:''' Processed items will simply fall off the anvil after they are finished. Since there is no way to automate the Input, there is no profit in automating the Output, as is possible for instance for the [[quern]]. | * '''Material Output:''' Processed items will simply fall off the anvil after they are finished.
