What does "CFM" mean?

CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and refers to the volume of air the compressor can deliver at a specific pressure, like 90 PSI. A higher CFM rating means the compressor can power air tools that require a lot of air for longer periods, so it's best to know the CFM requirement for the tools you will be using.
