i talked to a friend that got a 0.00 crafting tool when he first started as scout for some time ago, right now the best i make are 9.24 so i was wondering, are 0.00 crafting tools makeable or do they only come on character create(scout, artisan)?

why would you want to?
Tools range from the negative (-12.54 for example) to positive (14.98 for example)
So your 9 tools are better than his 0 tools. You want HIGHER numbers - not numbers closer to 0.0

Yes you can make good tools. High conductivity metal, a crafting station and lots of experimentation points.

But I am standing in front of several stations of different types, including a weapon/droid/general item crafting station, and not getting the option to experiment.
Is it the wrong station?

Yep yep - as Tsu points out, using good quality metal with the attributes in the right place, using a crafting station and having a few experimentation points will allow you to craft much better equipment. Mine tend to max out around 14.5 but I have crafted 15's in my time
Best of luck

ok, thanks for the valueable information, really helped me out i was using steel with 150 conductivity, which explains the crap tools 
so thanks again for help!

If you don t get any experimentation, you probably haven t proceeded far enough in the Artisan profession to be able to experiment yet.

There is all of the information in this thread that will help you make the best tools possible. I will put it all together in this post.
First get yourself some Metal with a High Conductivity. (aim for 1000 to make +15.00 tools)
Get yourself some chemical (Quality doesn't matter since chem does not have conductivity so the stat gets ignored)
Next get yourself (or make) a good +??.?? General, Weapon, Droid crafting tool (make sure it is a HIGH +??.?? to reduce the rick of failures)
Next get a private General, Weapon, Droid crafting station (make sure it is a HIGH +??.?? to reduce the risk of failures)
Stand next to the General, Weapon, Droid crafting station, Boot the General, Weapon, Droid crafting tool and craft the tool useing the Metal and Chem from above. During the crafting proccess after a successful assemby you will get the option to experiment.
Now some notes:
You will not get the option if you do not have at least Novice Artisan.You willget more experimentation points by taking skills in Engineering, Domestic Arts, or BOTH. You will get1 point for Engineering 1, 1 point for engineering 2, 1 point for engineering 3, 1 point for engineering 4. For a total of 6 experimentation points. This will allow you to get to about a +6.?? to +8.?? depending on how well you did. If you want to achive higher or do this good with bad resources you will need to take the domestic arts line. Domestic Arts 1 will give you 1 experimentation point, Docmestic arts 2 will get you 1, Domestic arts 3 another 1 and finally domestic arts 4 another one.
This means in order to get 10 experimentation points you will need to take Novice Artisan, Engineering 1-4, and Domestic Arts 1-4.
Note that it is possible to do this with a bad crafting tool and a PUBLIC crafting station but the risk of failure either on assembly OR experimentation will be high. And IF you DO fail during the cration process or experimentation process you will get a tool far below the stats you will get if you keep trying. Obviously if you make a tool better then the one you are useing either make a schematic and run it in a factory OR use the NEW tool to make others since the higher +??.?? on it will give you better chances of success in future attempts.
With Metal with 1000 conductivity, and 10 experimentation points will will be possible to get 99% (the highest in the game) which will make the tool +15.00. I have a resource that will allow me to do this currently. I sell my tools as Perfect crafting tools +15.00.
I hope this helps everyone

You are probably using a General Crafting Tool, and not a Weapon, Droid, and General Crafting Tool. You can experiment with the latter, but can not with the former.

There's also an "effective radius" of the stations, it seems to be 5-10m, but with multiple stations in the area, you also need to be closer to the WDG station than whatever's next to it.
