Zusammenfassung:	A surgical cutting system can be configured to prepare an intervertebral space for insertion of an intervertebral implant. In an embodiment, the surgical cutting system includes a drill guide and a drill bit. The drill guide can be configured to be coupled to a trial implant and can include a guide portion that is configured to support a first stop member. In addition, the drill guide defines a guide hole that extends through the guide portion along a guide hole axis. The drill bit can be configured to be at least partially received in the guide hole. Moreover, the drill bit defines a second stop member that is configured abut the first stop member so as to limit movement of the drill bit through the guide hole along the guide hole axis to a maximum cut depth.
