Who would normally preside over an impeachment trial?
The Chief Justice of the United States presides over a US Presidential impeachment trial; an "Impeachment Trial Committee" comprising Senators selected by the Presiding Officer of the Senate* is in charge of all other impeachment trials. This practice began in 1986 when the Senate amended its rules and procedures for impeachment trials.* The Presiding Officer is not a fixed position. The Vice-President (currently Joe Biden), who also serves as President of the Senate, could be the Presiding Officer; or, in his (or her) absence, the President pro tempore (currently Daniel Inouye, D-HI) could preside; or, anyone the President of the Senate or President pro tempore designates -- even a Junior Senator -- could serve in that capacity.
Why does the Chief Justice not the president of senate preside over the impeachment trial of a president?
Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.
Does the vice-president always acts as judge in an impeachment trial?
As President of the Senate, the U.S. Vice President presides over most impeachment trials. However, Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that when the President is on trial the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides. And although the Constitution doesn't say, I assume that would also be the case if the Vice President were the defendant in an impeachment trial (an incumbent U.S. Vice President has never been impeached to date).
Who judges the impeachment trial for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
If the Senate tries the Chief Justice, it would follow the procedure used in most impeachment trials.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court only presides over the impeachment trial of a US President.
