Recently unlocked 2nd character and was hoping to use thisfella in a supporting role to make creds.
I grinded him up to Master Artisan in a few hours but now I seem to have trouble crafting a better spec Generic crafting tool for example. The best I get using High Quality Metals and Chemical is -08.46 and it doesn't even let me experiment using my High Quality Crafting Station. Yes Im standing close to it (1m) and even have it targeted etc.
Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the rightr direction and tell me what im doing wrong or missing?
Many Thanks.

You need to use a more advanced crafting tool, to craft and experiment on a crafting tool a Weapons, Droid and General Item Crafting tool (and corresponding crafting station, can't usea food station for example) is needed.

Generic crafting tools can only be made with a generic crafting tool. This means you cannot experiment generic crafting tools.
This got changed some many months ago. All other crafting tools can be crafted with a Weapon/Droid/General tool which, when used with a crafting station of the correct type, will allow the advanced tools to be experimented.

This is the problem I am having for example. (FYI, I have a Structure+Furniture/Generic+Weapon+Droid/Armor+Clothing & Food and Chem Stations).
Using my Generic Crafting Tool rated 0.00 I craft, lets say, a Structure+Furniture crafting tool standing infront of the appropriate station and I still don't have the option to experiment to raise it's rating. Instad it simply goes to the output hopper and creates the tool at a rating of -8.

You cannot experiment with your Generic Crafting tool. I suggest you first make a Weapon, Droid, and General Item Crafting Tool, then go and stand in front of the Weapon, Droid, and General Item Crafting Station. this will allow you to experiment on anything you make with your W/D/GI Tool. Make a second Weapon, Droid, and General Item Crafting Tool and experiment on it. Use this third tool to craft whatever other tools you need.
The station you use corresponds with the tool you're using, not the item you're crafting. (eg, you don't stand in front of the Furniture and Structure Station to craft a Furniture and Structure Tool, you stand in front of the Weapon, Droid, and General Item Station since that's the type of tool you'll be using.

You have to 'bootstrap'
That is, make a Weapon/Droid/General (WDG) tool with the generic crafting tool. You will not be able to experiment this one.
Use that, low quality, WDG tool to craft a new WDG tool. You will be able to experiment this new one.
Use that new, high quality, WDG tool to make all the rest of your tools.
