Solidworks help!

What's the best way to cut a circular groove around the outside diameter of a shaft in Solidworks? Think a round o-ring groove on a shaft. I've been playing around with fillet and chamfer tools with no success. Any idea?

It seems like I should be able to draw a circle and revolve it around the shaft to cut, but then I can't draw the circle on the plane that is parallel to the axis of the shaft...
