Paul,
Not quite but that would actually work.
My current profile has a square shoulder top and bottom and just one curve. The curve is not a true radius but more of an elipse. The ratio is about 2x the height and 1x the width. However that cutter if it represents the same overall ratio could work very well. It would take out a bit more timber on the top of the profile and get rid of some of the 'powdery' stuff.
The block idea could come in handy too. I'll do a little more searching and see what I can turn up with that style of bit, I'll be near a hardware store tomorrow though they are small and very limited in what they have
regards
Dave

Sorry Dave
I didn't look closely enough at the top of the cutter. Also I notice that bit had an 8mm shank so it wouldn't fit you laminate trimmer anyway:(.
If the curved part is slightly eliptical I think Chambezio's comments are probably right in that it was originally made on a spindle moulder with HSS blades as typically they were used for production runs.
The other way would be to take your window along to somewhere that has a large range of router bits and see if you can find a tungsten bit that will fit your profile even if a little bit of remodelling is required. Remember there is some adjustment also by changing the size of the bearing: Not an option with HSS as they normally only have a pin (which also tends to burn the timber and this may be another issue as you are intending to varnish rather than paint)
Regards

Paul,
I noticed wrong size shank, but that is easy enough - most bits are available in the full range of shank sizes, just a matter of finding the right profile.
If I find a bit that allows to slightly change the profile but accomplish my overall goal I will be sure to post. Infact I'll have to post a pic of the windows once done

Due to rural isolation and lack of being able to find what i wanted I finally bit the bullet. Between me and my daughter we used a hand scraper some chisels and sand paper.
Will post some pics hopefully tomorrow
