The John Deere 7 Iron is pretty heavy duty stamped deck (7 gauge), and has a reputation for good quality of cut.Depends on who makes the stamped deck and is it a commercial or residential mower. The deck on my JD commercial mower is stamped from a heavy gauge steel, I think it is 7 gauge. Most of the cheap mower decks are stamped with thin 14 and 16 gauge steel.
The residential stamped decks I've seen generally look like they were formed out of tin.
The fabricated deck on my commercial zero turn is heavy duty.
