I would guess the same as for 3/8", as is for .404".
The only thicker wheel I have seen is the 6mm one for setting/grinding the rakers.

But, I am new to grinding and as such may blowing hot air out of my a$$.

I believe we need pictures of 1/2" chain next to 3/8" or .325".

All I ever see is the same wheels are advertised as for 3/8 and .404.
Probably better with a CBN wheel, as it will not heat the teeth as
much in comparison with the cheaper wheels, not will it wear as
fast.

1/4"-6mm is all that is listed, if you go to a tool room wheel you can get 8mm x 150mm which might fit or would have be dressed down a bit diameter wise. (oem is 147mm dia) you also need an arbor adapter - 22mm inside x whatever the tool room wheel is, 1.25" is common. I don't think you can get any thicker than 8mm inside the shroud.
