  In a previous paper [1], we have discussed the non-perturbative tuning of the
chirally rotated Schroedinger functional (XSF). This tuning is required to
eliminate bulk O(a) cutoff effects in physical correlation functions. Using our
tuning results obtained in [1] we perform scaling and universality tests
analyzing the residual O(a) cutoff effects of several step-scaling functions
and we compute renormalization factors at the matching scale. As an example of
possible application of the XSF we compute the renormalized strange quark mass
using large volume data obtained from Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal
twist.
