What threads are you chasing? Everybody (yes everybody) should have a tap handle and an M5x0.8 tap and a M6x1.0 tap in their shop tools. Expecially the M5x0.8. The handle will cost you about $6, and each of those two taps will cost $4-$5. Clean the paint out of EVERY water bottle bolt and every braze on before installing anything.
If you want to chase the threads of your bottom bracket or your steertube, those are bike specific and expensive. No way around it, pay the shop to do it, unless you really have money to burn. A Park BTS-1, for example, is great to chase and face a bottom bracket but it's $600.
