The problem with thread mills is that they are very expensive, never EVER seen one even close to $50, most run over $100 EACH. Wouldn't be that bad, but these only do one thread pitch over a modest range of diameters.
There are also single-row thread mills that can do a wide range of thread pitches. The downside is you have to do the entire thread one turn at a time, thereby taking several times longer that a specific-pitch thread mill. But, these cost about $50. For a few holes, the single-row thread mill is great for that oddball pitch or diameter. But, for hundreds of holes, the $10 tap is faster and more affordable.
