καποια πραγματα σχετικα με το plek που διαβασα και ξεχωρισα ειναι αυτα:
(δεν κανω μεταφραση..)
1)What other things can the Plek do.
The Plek can show if the truss rod adjusts the neck properly, and where it affects the neck. This can be helpful to a player but also to an instrument builder.
------------------------------------
2)Can I trust my instrument to a machine? What happens if the computer malfunctions or the electricity fails.
Since this is so critically important, the Plek system has a zero mistake tolerance built in at every level
-------------------------------
3)What is the difference between the Plek fret dress and the usual fret dressing procedure?
Precision: The Plek sands to the nearest .001mm (1/100mm) or .00039in.. Work done by hand has a precision of approximately .1mm. Differences in fret height of ca. 0.03-0.04mm or more can be felt by a guitarist (as buzzing). Making this possible is extensive research into the physics and theory behind strings, sound and instrument design.
Guitar-friendly processing: This precision also allows minimal material removal because it is so accurate. With the Plek it is possible to perform more fret dress procedures before it becomes necessary to replace the frets. Thus the service life of the instrument is extended.

4)What is so special about the Plek fret dress?
Besides having measurement and dressing capabilities many times more accurate than the human eye allows, the Plek has two particularly great advantages over manual fretwork.
First, it scans and dresses a guitar while it is tuned to pitch. This is a major breakthrough since necks are under 100 or so pounds of string tension and that tension invariably affects the shape of the fret plane, creating curves and humps that change when the strings are removed for dressing. The Plek identifies precisely what needs to be done for perfect results when restrung whereas even an expert human, dressing the neck with the tension released, has to guess about how to compensate for the effect of string tension.
Secondly, the Plek applies very sophisticated formulas for optimum neck curve or relief, and adjusts the calculations for the actual string height and each string gauge, something that is different for each guitar and actually different within one guitar as you go from the treble side to the bass.In other words, the fret surface under the high e is treated differently than under the low E. Achieving these same results by hand would be lucky and extremely rare at best.
