Yes, you can use an auger bit with a regular drill, as long as the drill is powerful enough and the chuck can hold the bit securely. Always check the drill and auger bit specifications for a safe outcome. Some auger bits are designed for use with slower-speed drill, so be careful to drill at a lower speed to avoid damaging you and the bit or the material you are working on. In my shop we always operate with safety and quality first, which ends up in a great finish to my customers projects.
