Why use an air compressor regulator?

The regulator is used to restrict the pressure going to your tool. The tank may have 100 psi, but you would not want that going to a small nailer or stapler, so you regulate it down to about 35-40 for those tools.- The pressure in the tank is governed by the pressure switch which will open and shut down the pump when a set pressure is reached. This is not the same as regulating.

How can you achieve constant air pressure with air compressor?

By the use of a tank and a regulator. The compressor discharges into the tank, where the pressure can vary but is always higher than the desired pressure. The tank feeds the regulator which delivers the desired pressure. Alternately, you might be able to size or modify the compressor to meet the load exactly with a 100% duty cycle, but that is less practical.
