Like Andrew I have made my own taps for a 3/8", 2 start square thread, made from silver steel, then hardened and tempered, the thread was milled using a 1/16" cutter rather than done on the lathe as there was no run out to go in to on the part, the taps made with the same set-up. Using the taps in brass was fairly easy, about 1 turn, then remove to clear the swarf.
