I just use 3/4' bolts for my bench dogs. I cut off the threaded part. If there might be a problem with marking the wood, I just use some waste wood for a spacer on the bolt. What gave me the idea was an oldtimer who used to lose his bench dogs in all the shavings, etc. So he went to the steel bolts and a big magnet to fish the bench dogs out of the mess.
Not that I am messy or anything...
