I am in the process of renovating the kitchen and am in the middle of installing wall cabinets. I discovered that my wall has a bump that causes the cabinets to be uneven. It is about 60x30 that bulges out about 7-8 mm at the highest spot, but the edge is so sharp that it's not possible to do any "quick fix." Therefore, I thought of removing the 7-8 protruding millimeters.
My question, therefore, is how to most easily even out old (from the 50s) lightweight concrete? I would prefer not to rent expensive tools or tools that create dust. I considered chiseling away the concrete with a chisel. Time-consuming, but it should work. Then you can fill in behind with putty. It is even both at the top and the bottom of the cabinets.
Does anyone have another method? Comments? Religious digressions?

A chisel might work... then some floor primer diluted with water and then fill with rotband/gypsum plaster. It will probably come loose more than the 7-8mm you want to remove.
An alternative is, of course, using construction wedges both at the bottom and top, behind the cabinets when you install them, so they come out from the wall as much as the bump.
