Is it possible to machine brake rotors on a regular lathe or does it have to be a brake specific lathe?

It is possible and often done. The best way to do it though would be to grip the rotor in a way that both sides can be machined without removing it from the lathe before its done. It will have to be set-up and aligned with a dial indicator from the inside faces of the hub.
