There are a lot of different brake lathes out there, so I'm not sure what you mean by 'standard'. If is is a good, stiff machine with enough swing for the rotor in question (we currently use up to 410mm/16" discs), then it is possible to do the job properly.
If you're cooking DS3000's, cooling should definitely be looked at. Also, consider the Mintex F3R compound, which is a current favorite in NASCAR and a few other series brutal on brakes. It is very linear, with outstanding feedback a quick release. It's good up to 2000°F, so no worries there! These will be in stock at STILLEN tomorrow (FedEx permitting). As always, scuff the rotor surface with a Flex-Hone or Scotch-Brite before bedding in a new compound.
