    drill it with a series of holes from a hammer drill.. a few minutes and you'll have a break here line..  one swift blow with a sledge hammer should have it in two pieces with no dust.. if that's too heavy drill a big X and break it into four pieces..

   (eyes squinting suspiciously) You have a big sign on you that says "I AM THE INSTIGATOR", don't you?Can I just rip out my nose & replace it with a temporary model until this cold is gone?

   tap it with a hammer.

    

   if U just need it chipped ... call an appliance delivery guy to come stand near it ...

   or have the electrician walk thru wearing his tool belt.

   plumber could just eat lunch in the same room ... that works too!

   yet another reason why the tool belt comes off when I do cab installs ...

   and all the tools stay on the floor ... where they can't fall from!

   I always tell the help when dealing with stuff we don't want to have fall..... "nothing falls off the floor"

   Everyone,

   Thanks for the advice.   I'll skip the saw and use the hammer and/or drill.

   Use a hammer - no dust. Any other spinning type tool will create dust and be more work. If you can pry up one end, even just to put some tension on it and then strike it a few feet away, it will break where you hit it. If you can't pry on it, just keep hitting along a line where you want it to break. It may spall where the hammer hits so wear safety glasses. You could try a couple of layers of duct tape where you will be hitting to keep chips from flying, but you won't have to worry about dust. Unless it's glued down unusually well, it will break up pretty easily.

   I'm in Northern New Jersey.   I'm also looking into charitable organizations and my painter may want is also.   But, the project has to move forward so if those options don't pan out,  I'll break out the drill and hammer. 

   Thanks Pete.

   I don't know where you are located but I'm sure there is some organization that does home salvage in your area. In my area, (Berkeley, CA) there are groups that will show up an remove the items intact could save a lot of dust and labor

   Paul,

   My wife is looking into that and my painter may be interested as well.   In about 8 weeks, the appliances and cabinets will be delivered.  In case we can't locate someone, I need to have a plan in place on how to break it up.  I appreciate everyone's input.
