Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'beading' names the decorative moulding and 'plane' is the woodworking tool, so a 'beading plane' is readily understood as a plane used to cut bead mouldings. This noun+noun pattern and functional specification is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Beading plane is named for what it does: the plane tool shaves wood to cut a small rounded bead along an edge. That's why the name means 'a hand tool for making decorative bead shapes'.
