The skilled machinists evaluate precisely the sharpness of cutting edges by weighing the perceived grinding sound on their scales acquired through the experiences. The purpose of the present paper is to make a suggestion regarding the sharpness evaluation by the model using the fuzzy integral. The constructed model gives the values of sharpness grade by weighing the loudness of the various bands of frequencies on the fuzzy measure which the machinist's subjective characteristics in grading the redress life are identified. From verifying results of the model, it was found that the outputs of the model agreed approximately with the machinist's evaluations and the model became a very useful method for the in-process measurement.
