It would still need the cage to hold the middle of the large filter from being sucked up I think, the filter round the cage is only like pantyhose thick, I don't really see any harm leaving it there.

Is it practical to improvise a paper dust bag? I use them on my VAX and even with oily swarf they last till they are about full and it makes getting shut of the waste much more pleasant - I buy copies of the original fit ones for about ten pence each from Amazon.
Numatics can run with or without bags, I run mine with for that very reason. Bags in Costco are about £25 for 80 and it's a lot less messy.
I have a Henry,Edward and a George. When you are doing wet stuff you run the cage with the ball. When doing dry stuff you run the white filter piece which should have a round plastic frame in the bottom of it. If you have the cage with the ball then then there is no way a bag would fit/work. I am surprised the filter piece will even fit with the cage in as they both fit between the lid and the tub.
A Charles should be the same., there is another model which uses a slightly different system so maybe you have that.
Some differences to this model then, you would have to take the head apart to remove the 4 screws which hold the cage, not designed for a housewife to do.
Also now that I look again, the filter is much deeper and more like a bag than the one you show.
