    The fretboard wood can push frets up, strings wear grooves into them. That can cause fretbuzz and makes it difficult to achieve a good setup.
    Solution: Filing the frets so that all frets have the same height again.

    There's a German company that deloped a computer-controlled machine that can do this.
    You can get further info there.
