I have an OF 1400 and recently routed some dados with a spiral bit on some plywood using the Kerfmaster. When I was done, the dados were exactly right (thanks Paul Marcel for the videos) but the edges needed a haircut. Does anyone have a recommendation for router bits to cut dados that will hold its edge?
 
I have always had great luck with Whiteside bits and I have an entire collection of spirals in different widths.  I have a couple of Festool spiral bits too that work well -- those are still available items.

Ive been buying Infinity Router bits lately, they do a get job have a lot of carbide on them
 
Were you using an upcut or downcut spiral bit? The upcut will lift the fibers on the face veneer, giving you the fuzzies. The downcut should leave a clean edge. I've had great luck with Whiteside router bits as well.
