You can use it - but would need the split collet or be able to press the bit into a carvetight adapter if you are using a carvetight spindle.
If you have the Quick Chuck, install the bit into the adapter and use permanent thread locker to keep the allen screws and bit tight.
I have actually bought and use this bit in my machines with the appropriate adapter.
Wont this carbide bit slip in the split collet adapter?

This is a disputed situation, but to put it simply, LHR recommends using their press fit adapters and not using split collets. I personally use split collets, but wanted to make sure you understand that it is going against what the manufacturer has recommended (at least in the past... I'm not a LHR rep so I am not speaking for them, just relaying what their representatives have said in the past)
I'm not saying this to begin an arguement, just pointing out what their official stance has been in the past so you have all the information available before you make your purchase.
