Good evening.

According to my personal experience "house air" is preferrable provided
the supply is close to free of interruptions because of "technical
issues". However, a good oil separator is important. Otherwise, small oil
drops from the compressor can accumulate in the needle valves of your
table air regulation and cause trouble there.

Best wishes,

Johannes
