Hello every one!
As mencioned I repair windows. Sometimes customers ask me: "Do you make windows?"
Window frames are normaly made with a shaper, but how is it, can I make 3-finger joints with a table mounted router with 12mm. chuck? Are there enough big profile bits when the frame profile is 30x44mm. 30mm. is the thicnes of the frame. How much power would I need for such combination?
Thanks in advanse.

Freud makes several bits and sets that should fit your needs, hopefully they're available in the EU in a 12mm shank. Here's a link to their US website.

I'd suggest a 15-amp variable-speed router for these bits, some of them are pretty hefty. Keep the speed down.

HTH,
Bill

MLCS also sells a set for making windows and doors.

In the states Your window construction is totaly different. In some pictures the corners has been mortise and tenon. Allso I have seen you use glue and nais or sqrews

You might want to look at CMT. They are from Italy and have a lot of Euro style bits.
