I finally found a machinist with tooling to make some of these collared inserts..

I have been using them for a while now. Does OMC still sell them?  Still have several set. I do like them better than the flush fitting inserts.

OMC told me they were discontinued.

And the reason for the collar?

It kind of acts like a second pin. I like how the limb fits on the riser with them.  I use to put two pins in my bows now I just use one.

No intent to hijack the thread, would a regular self centering dowel jig work?
