I always use a recess, well, at least 99% of the time. For years I used a dedicated dove tail tool. Haven't used it in several years. Other than marking the diameter, I eyeball it. Done enough of them that I come 'close enough'. Mine was set so that the shaft of the tool would eyeball into a straight line with the bed of the lathe.
