Chamfer Chisel is an Oregon trade mark, and refers to the shoulder of the cutter. It's a variation on the semi-chisel chain type.

 

"Normal" semi chisel chain has a radius on the corner of the cutter, Chamfer Chisel has a 45 degree angle. Supposed benefits over full chisel (sharp angular corner) are reduced kickback and stay sharp longer in dirty wood, whilst being slightly slower cutting.

 

IME the differences are marginal for those who know how to sharpen a chain and do it regularly.

Nope, same as any other chain. Roundfile and 30/35 degree angle.
