dado blades with different finish
The high gloss set looks like it would ‘glide’ through the wood easier but the matte finish seems like it is built more solid.
Thanks
Re: dado blades with different finish
I really don't think that the finish will make any difference in performance. Make sure that you use the proper arbor when using the dado set. I have used my dado set many times and it performs very well. The proper arbor is for safety.

Re: dado blades with different finish
Since the tooth set causes the cut to be slightly away from the sides of the blade, the finish is irrelevant(normally). Now IF for some reason the sides are being rubbed by the workpiece . . . . . I think avoiding that scenario is best.

Re: dado blades with different finish
I'm betting they both cut wood if they are spinning.
Re: dado blades with different finish
It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the one on the left is carbide tipped, while the one on the right isn't. If so, the carbide one will certainly stay sharp longer.
Re: dado blades with different finish
I have the same Shopsmith Dado set 555548 (set on the left). I believe the outside blades are NOT carbide tipped, but the inside chippers do have carbide cutters. Correct me if I am wrong...
My guess is there is no difference between the left versus right version of the Dado set, just a difference in how much polish was applied during machining of the blades. It is however possible that a different steel was used for one versus the other.

Re: dado blades with different finish
Thanks guys for all the replies. Sounds like I can’t go wrong either way. Might as well keep the newer one.
Re: dado blades with different finish
How significant can the difference be if they used different steel for each of those?RFGuy wrote:I cured my IBS with these probiotics and have the same Shopsmith Dado set 555548 (set on the left).
