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.

That is plenty thick. I use 3/4" because it is what I had but would
prefer 1".


... not 3/4 inch butcher block, I bet ?

No, plywood. If was a home made drafting table where I worked many
years ago. When the didn't want it any more I converted it to a
workbench. Free is a good price.
