A countersink is a tool that creates a groove and a hole that allows the screw to be easily screwed inside of the wood's surface, while the countersink only creates a hole to allow the screw to be easily screwed in. The crown of the screw is exposed on the surface if the countersink is used. If the counterbore is used, the screw is not exposed directly, as it is inside the groove that is made.
