Default Recommend work bench thickness

What is the minimum recommended bench top thickness when using bench-dogs or other types of hold-fasts?

I'm replacing the top of my work table with some 1.25 inch thick butcher block. I'd like to add some 3/4 inch holes for hold fasts.


My Festool Work table uses 3/4" MDF and it works fine. Mostly it will
depend on what size and kind of dogs you intend to use. Might be less
expensive to get a new type of hold down than to go thick for a surface.
