Shank size and cutter rated speed are your two concerns. If the shank size fits the router, and the cutter speed is rated higher than the router speed, you should be safe.
Is the ball nose bit an up spiral? If so I've tried to use up spirals in our hand routers and didn't have very good luck seem to be harder to control because of the up spiral
The basic question, yes you can. My CNC uses my Bosch, or Dewalt routers. Regular routers. Your spindle CNCs might use different bits. Speeds and feeds will be a concern. On CNCs the router is held by the Gantry, built to withstand all the different forces. Hand routing would be a little more difficult.
