I have had several of the break off at the nib (the threaded piece) anyone know if that piece is replaceable and if so where to get it. Also any idea why this keeps happening?

I've never had that happen, and must have made 50-60 of them so far. Are you possibly pressing them at an angle? For replacement, try contacting the vendor you got them from.

(Tip: Get a small t-handle reamer, and slightly bevel the tube before assembly. That will help when starting to press the components together.)

Maybe it's being pressed unevenly as posted. It will distort or break.
I never had that problem. PSI might have replacements parts...ask for Kim.

Please post some pictures ...it'll be easier to sort out and resolve.

Is the front end being pressed with tip on or off?

I assume the part you are breaking are the threads that the bullet tip screws onto. I have broken them before also when pressing the pen together. So I have a small block of wood I have drilled different sized holes in. It allows you to put pressure on a part of the pen that won't break.

See attached picture for a better explanation.

I have done the same thing. "Call" PSI they should have what you need.
