The riving knife prevents timber from 'pinching' the blade when ripping. So, what use is it for non-through cuts? Such a cut can't pinch the blade. A riving knife was designed to prevent 'pinching' when ripping through a board. If you are cutting tenon shoulders, dadoes, and grooves etc, ('non-through' cuts) nothing is going to pinch the blade. Yes, the work could be swivelled, accidentally, but in that case, a riving knife wouldn't prevent that, or kickback. Puzzled!
