SUMMARY
The optimal CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) required to lift a 100 kg weight with an air compressor is contingent upon the desired lifting speed and the output pressure of the compressor. The discussion highlights that without specific parameters such as lift speed and pressure, providing a definitive CFM range is impractical. Additionally, participants recommend researching small yet effective air compressors that meet these criteria.
