I begin to suspect a bug when they changed the droid stations, they changed ALL the stations accidentally.
I tried making a general crafting tool, couldn't experiment.. was like what the hell?
Then I tried making a weapon crafting tool, and a fishing pole. Couldn't experiment on either.. this is in front of my private weapon crafting station. Was like W.T.F?
Then I tried making a weapon, like a metal staff. No experimentation screen AT ALL. Then I was beginning to plot a road trip out to California.
Then I picked up my crafting station, and re-deposited it down in the exact spot. Then all was well with the world. Except I still can't experiment with General Crafting tool condition. best I can do with 999 cond metal is -6.00 . Poor newbies. they will be stuck with crappy tools forever.
So the morale of this jocular story is : if you are getting no experimentation screen, pick the station up and put it right back down. Problem solved.

This is because there is no way to experiment on them the way the game is currently set up. The only way to make a Generic Crafting tool, is by using a Generic Crafting tool. In order to experiment, you need to use a tool that matches a crafting station. Unfortunately, a Generic Crafting tool doesn't have it's own station, and doesn't count a WDG station as it's own (need WDG tool).
So, in effect, it can never be experimented on.

the problem was that it wasnt my station, it was in a friends house.
i have found another food station and was able to use that one, i had all the schems when i opened the craft tool. dont know why i cant use the one in my friends place.
if you really want a better than 0 generic tool, look on the bazaar as they are usually available but rather high priced.
or pick up novice medic, it will give you a 0 rating tool. i dont remember if i got one from medic when i started as an artisan, that was a while ago, but my other 2 alts started as marksman and an entertainer so i got one 0 rating tool when i picked up medic.
