Beader

A beader is a person who installs plastic moulding strips into slotted edges of metal tabletops using a mallet and bandsaw.

The beader positions the centre of the moulding strip over the leading edge of the tabletop as it moves along a conveyor and pushes the tongue of the molding into a slot along the entire edge of the tabletop, pounding the moulding with a mallet to seat it firmly in the slot.
