Yeah, air tanks on a compressor are really only useful when you're using short
bursts of more air than the compressor can keep up with (so you need a reservoir
to draw from to keep pressure up through each burst) or you're using way less
than it's capable of pumping (so you want to give it a chance to rest until the
pressure drops below a certain level). If you're using a constant draw, and you
can tweak the compressor capacity to match what's needed, there's really no need
for a reservoir tank. A cut-off switch is still a good idea, especially if
you're still planning to have it stop when it runs out of table.
