We tried out a range of rotary and random-orbit sanders to compare their dust collection, quality of finish, and user fatigue after hours of sanding.

The most successful way I've ever seen to remove paint from brick was to cover all the surrounding surfaces and sand blast the area. It gets dusty and dirty but it sure beats all of those chemicles. It is also much quicker. You can pick up a sandblaster at Sears for something like $100 but make sure you get a sandblasting face shield. Hope I've helped.
