The space for the dishwasher under the sink is about 4 cm wider than the dishwasher. I have obtained a white melamine-coated chipboard shelf that I plan to cut and set as a standing cover strip, about 2 cm on each side of the dishwasher. I have never cut such material, but I've heard that it chips easily on the surface when using a handheld circular saw. Therefore, I will tape the surface where the cuts will be made to reduce that risk. What type of tape is recommended?
My saw has a 165 mm blade size. How many teeth should the blade have for this purpose? Is 24 enough?

why not take a jigsaw and saw the underside/backside?
You should fix the passbitarna in the cabinets, so one option can be to buy a pre-painted list in a suitable dimension instead.
If the shelves are e.g. 19 mm thick, you can turn the edge outwards (and the cut side inwards) and then you are guaranteed a straight edge on both sides and can also glue them in place.

There you will find what you need to know. Also check the linked thread to the furniture carpentry forum.Mikael_L said:
Otherwise, I think pbengtsson's idea of using the edge of a melamine-coated shelf is excellent - especially considering how easy it is to implement.
