April,
I have made a proportional divider and experienced the same problem. You can see my divider at reply # 25.
The problem was solved by putting an extra iron ring on the one side and placing a rubber ring between the two. When i tighten the screws the rubber ring will apply a constant soft pressure and keep the divider in place.
