I'm looking to buy and old 1948 plantation house here in Honolulu and its got a lot of flaking peeling paint on the exterior. I already have a RO150 and wonder if that can do the job with some burly grits or would the RAS be more suited to the job. My main concern is lead paint so I'm only going to sand where its absolutely necessary. I may just opt to have the exterior sub'd out but the interior I'll take on. Worth the money or should I go for a Deltex for corners or possibly a FEIN Multimaster? This will be my first official attempt at re-habbing whole house but the upside is that there is really nothing I can screw up as its pretty beat. Thanks in advance
RO150 vs. RAS115 for remodeling

Lead means you want as good a dust collection as you can get, preferably made for lead, but not a RAS 115 or any grinder shooting the crap all over the place.
Get a kit and test about 6 different places on the home the sill, ledges face etc of the building. Where one of those cheap white paper jumpers, tape all the opening and wear a respirator if there is lead.
Here if some authority finds out there is lead you have to hire a pro that is certified, so keep it to yourself unless you want to spend some big bucks.
