Maybe.  It depends on the power supply and the belt drive ratio, too.

If you set the amps to limit current to the continuous rating of the 
motor, you will
have roughly a 4:1 reduction in acceleration, but you will be totally 
safe, you can park the
machine against a stop and it won't burn out the motors.
