I've done both 3/8" LP (Stihl PS - PICO) & .325 on my Silvey swing arm with no modification.

What limits me is the distance between the raker and the cutting edge and this has some effect on the angle underneath the top plate of the cutter.

I have not redressed or changed the angles on the wheel.

Tuning a Simington Square-Chisel Chain Grinder

http://www.madsens1.com/sim_tuning.htm

Roger you do anything special to your Simington Square grinder?  The 325 square chain cutters you just did is all off  the grinder?

If you are referring to the race chain I did then that was all done with the Simington grinder.    Then the rest of the mods were done using a dremel.

No I did not modify the grinder in any way.    But I did play around the with the angles that the wheel is dressed at until I got what I wanted.   Don't ask what they are because I have no idea.    I used a grey greased wheel first to get the general shape of the cutter and then I did a final grind with a blue wheel.   The blue wheel seems to give a sharp angle in the corner of the tooth and I like the finish.   
PP 505, 475, 445.

What's the story on the yellow spacers in the last 2 pictures?
