It is not an overlock.
This is the one I have as well. Purchased used for about $40. Then took a serging class at a LQS and learned lots of valuable things. The most important being - write down every setting with every project. Write down your starting point (so you can return your settings to original); write down every setting on every thread for every project. It will save you buckets of time down the road.
