I think somebody mentioned last night or the night before, if you're just cleaning up otherwise good threads, get a chase instead of a tap. Chases are sharb nut not as hard and brittle as a tap.
Light oil is always good. As far as action, yes, only a quarter turn or so at a time, but back off each time more than the last cut. More true with a tap than a chase, but the idea is to use the backstroke to cut off what's curling up in front of the cutting edge. Those chips will go into the flute. If you're doing any serious cutting at hand speeds, you may need to back it out and clean up the tap and blow out the hole (to clean up the chips at the front end of the tap that the back stoke didn't pick up) both when it starts to feel more than a little gritty.
