Yes, but in normal servo use you would almost never see that amount of
power. Torque is far more important than peak power.

Those motors sound a bit under powered for your plasma cutter. However
as you have them it may be worth quickly bodging up a drive system and
trying one out, even if you just run it off of a couple of 12V batteries.

Cogging is something you don't want too much of. The electronics have to
work harder to compensate for this.
