So, the strings are close to the neck and the only buzzing is on the 2 fret when I depress the stings on the 1st fret. The low 'E' is the only string that does not buzz. I suppose I could hit the 2nd fret with a couple licks of my 7" industrial metal grinder but that might be a bit extreme. Unfortunately my guitrar only has the fixed nylon saddle & therefore is not adjustable - bummer. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks :?

You need a good tech to level and recrown that fret for you. Not a job to do with your sander!!!

Get thee to a guitar shop.

This sounds like a nut that's cut a little deep on that string.

Yep, your in need of a tech.

There are also ways to fill in the bottom of a nut slot with shavings from the nut mixed with crazy glue and carefully applied with a toothpick.
